Ultra-Low Loss Hybrid Anti-Resonant Hollow-Core Fiber with Double Semi-Circular Tubes Sandwiched Elliptic Tube
We propose a new hollow-core fiber design based on a hybrid structure of nested elliptical and semicircular tubes. We numerically investigate the loss and single-mode performance of this design in the communication band and derive the values of each parameter of the fiber cladding structure that the...

description | We propose a new hollow-core fiber design based on a hybrid structure of nested elliptical and semicircular tubes. We numerically investigate the loss and single-mode performance of this design in the communication band and derive the values of each parameter of the fiber cladding structure that theoretically lead to the best performance of the fiber. The resulting structure has a minimum confinement loss as low as 0.00033 dB/km at 1550 nm and an astonishing extinction ratio of 2,439,607 for the higher-order modes, showing excellent loss and single-mode performance. In addition, the design also exhibits excellent bending insensitivity, with the loss gradually dropping well below 0.01 dB/km when the bending radius exceeds 14 cm. The proposed fiber structure has a very promising application in optical communication systems. |
