Light transmission in negative curvature hollow core fiber in extremely high material loss region

Opt Express. 2013 Apr 22;21(8):9514-9. doi: 10.1364/OE.21.009514.

Abstract

In this paper we demonstrate the light transmission in a spectral range of 2.5 to 7.9 µm through a silica negative curvature hollow core fiber (NCHCF) with a cladding consisting of eight capillaries. A separation between the cladding capillaries was introduced to remove the additional resonances in the transmission bands. The measured optical loss at 3.39 µm was about 50 dB/km under a few modes waveguide regime.
