Abstract
Overview of transmission mechanisms, materials, and structures of various optical fibers for medical applications such as laser surgery, optical biopsy, and optical imaging is described. The paper gives explanations about common silica-glass optical fiber and infrared fiberoptics composed of specialty materials. Various properties of hollow optical fibers based on transmission mechanism that is totally different from glass optical fibers are also explained.
