We describe the history, guiding mechanism, recent advances, applications, and future
prospects for hollow-core negative curvature fibers. We first review one-dimensional slab …

Since their inception, about 20 years ago, hollow-core photonic crystal fiber and its gas-filled
form are now establishing themselves both as a platform in advancing our knowledge on …

Over the past few years, progress in hollow-core optical fiber technology has reduced the
attenuation of these fibers to levels comparable to those of all-solid silica-core single-mode …

Countering the optical network 'capacity crunch'calls for a radical development in optical
fibres that could simultaneously minimize nonlinearity penalties, chromatic dispersion and …

Attenuation in photonic bandgap guiding hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF) has
not beaten the fundamental silica Rayleigh scattering limit (SRSL) of conventional step …

We present a numerical and experimental demonstration of a waveguide regime in a broad
band spectral range for the hollow core microstructured optical fibers (HC MOFs) made of …

We describe a silica hollow-core fiber for mid-infrared transmission with a minimum
attenuation of 34 dB/km at 3050 nm wavelength. The design is based on the use of a …

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 …

While optical fibers display excellent performances in the infrared, visible and ultraviolet
ranges remain poorly addressed by them. Obtaining better fibers for the short-wavelength …
