As a continuation of our earlier study at 2.1 μm wavelength, we have investigated the laser damage to
several types of step-index, large core (1500 μm) silica fibers at two new wavelengths by high power long
pulsed Nd:YAG (1064 nm) and Alexandrite (755 nm) lasers. It was observed that fibers with different
designs showed a significant difference in performance at these wavelengths. We will also report a
correlation of damage to the fibers between the two laser wavelengths. The performance analyses of
different fiber types under the given test conditions will enable optimization of fiber design for specific
applications.
