Abstract
Laser technologies are extensively used in the various fields such as material processings, medical treatments, and measurements. Especially, the developments of the high power laser with excellent beam quality such as fiber lasers have advanced in the laser machining fields, which are for the production line of the automotive body and the lithium ion battery. In the fields, the laser power transmission technologies by using laser delivery fi bers are indispensable and the higher reliability is increasingly required. In this report, we introduce the overview about the preparation methods, which are a laser polishing and an end-cap structure, for the optical fi ber end face and the connector technology that is a cladding mode stripper. These technologies can be expected to support the reliability of the laser delivery fi bers.
