heal.abstract	The effect of the 2.94 μm Er:YAG laser radiation propagation through sapphire fibers with diameters varying from 250 mu;m to 550 mu;m, on the quality of the laser beam is investigated. A comparison was made between the fibers performance in free-running and Q-swithced EnYAG laser radiation.	en
