Abstract
A laser beam waveguide particularly useful for transmitting infrared laser radiation includes a flexible, hollow plastic tube; a metal layer on the inner surface of the hollow plastic tube; a thin dielectric film on the inner surface of the metal layer; and a flexible layer over the outer surface of the hollow plastic tube capable of absorbing infrared radiation and preventing kinking of the hollow plastic tube.
