We report on the fabrication of a seven-cell-core and three-ring-cladding large-pitch
Kagome-lattice hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF) with a hypocycloid-shaped core
structure. We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that the design of this core shape
enhances the coupling inhibition between the core and cladding modes and offers optical

We report on the fabrication of a seven-cell-core and three-ring-cladding large-pitch Kagome-lattice hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF) with a hypocycloid-shaped core structure. We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that the design of this core shape enhances the coupling inhibition between the core and cladding modes and offers optical attenuation with a baseline of ∼180?dB/km over a transmission bandwidth larger than 200?THz. This loss figure rivals the state-of-the-art photonic bandgap HC-PCF while offering an approximately three times larger bandwidth and larger mode areas. Also, it beats the conventional circular-core-shaped Kagome HC-PCF in terms of the loss. The development of this novel (to our knowledge) HC-PCF has potential for a number of applications in which the combination of a large optical bandwidth and a low loss is a prerequisite.
