Abstract
We propose to use a bundle of hollow fibers for delivery of Q-switched Nd:YAG laser pulses with a peak power of 10 MW. For the second harmonic Nd:YAG laser light (λ= 532 nm), a bundle of hollow glass fibers with silver inner coating transmits 70-mJ pulses with a pulse width of 5-8 ns. Bending losses are also reasonable for practical uses.
