  • Abstract
    Small-core (1 mm*1 mm) phosphor bronze square waveguide whose inner two or four walls are coated with a thin lead fluoride layer have been fabricated by using vacuum evaporation and assembly techniques. Straight waveguide transmissions as high as 80% are obtained even when the waveguides are bent with a bending radius of 50 cm in 1 m long waveguides.
