Abstract: Fiber waveguides were made of As₂Se₃–As₂S₃ glasses and their parameters were investigated. The total losses in the emission region of CO lasers were 8–10 dB/m, whereas in the emission region of CO₂ lasers they were 30 dB/m. The power densities corresponding to the damage threshold were 2 and 1 kW/cm², respectively.
