Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The radiation transmission of a Q-switched and a free-running Er:YAG laser, emitting at 2.94 μm, through high power (HP) oxide glass fibers of 450 μm and 250 μm core diameter was studied. Attenuation measurements were obtained as a function of the laser energy input and as a function of the curvature. The output beam quality was also studied using a beam profiler. Experiments with the same Er:YAG laser but with a 1000 μm core diameter cyclic olefin polymer coated silver hollow glass (COP/Ag) waveguide as the delivery system were performed for comparison. The results are promising as far as the delivery of Q-switched Er:YAG laser radiation is concerned. The fibers exhibited an attenuation below 0.7 dB/m, good output beam profiles, while no damage was observed after extended use.
