N2 - Laser power transmission experiments through silver halide discs and fibers have been performed. In these experiments cw, long pulsed and short pulsed (TEA) CO2 lasers, with power levels of 20 - 40 W or pulsed laser with energies of hundreds of mJ per pulse, have been used. The mechanical and optical properties of unclad fibers made of various alloys AgClxBr1-x with 0 < x < 1 were investigated. Compounds with x ≈ .5 proved most suitable. They have optical losses of about .2 dB/m at λ = 10.6 μm and good mechanical properties.
