Abstract
The damage and transmission properties of selected commercially available fused silica fibers have been measured as a function of excimer laser wavelength. Two-photon absorption and color center formation in fused silica currently limit the use of these fibers at the excimer wavelengths of 193 nm (ArF) and 248 nm (KrF).
