Scientists at the Optoelectronic Research Centre's spin-out company ChG Southampton Ltd have joined colleagues at the Dental Institute of King’s College, London based at Guy’s Hospital to develop a new optical fibre-based laser beam delivery system for surgeons. The unique optical properties of these chalcogenide fibres enable them to be used where conventional materials cannot operate and so can be used as flexible hand-held surgical tools for the delivery of mid-infrared laser radiation.
