Low loss hollow-core antiresonant fiber with nested supporting rings
Abstract:
A hollow-core antiresonant fiber (HC-ARF) with nested supporting rings (NSRs) is designed and simulated. The HC-ARF with NSRs has advantages and benefits of low loss, large bandwidth, simple structure and a well bending characteristic, in which confinement loss (CL) is ∼ 0.15 dB/km @ 1.55 µm and the bandwidth is ∼ 220 nm @ CL < 1 dB/km. The bending loss (BL) is lower than ∼ 1 dB/km @ bend radius rc > 24 mm at 1.55 µm. Therefore, the HC-ARF with NSRs has potential applications of data transmission, sensing, high power delivery and so on.
