Methods of optical physics offer unique opportunities for the investigation of brain and higher
nervous activity. The integration of cutting-edge laser technologies and advanced …

Various simple anti-resonant, single cladding layer, hollow core fiber structures are
examined. We show that the spacing between core and jacket glass and the shape of the …

The propagation of an optical discharge (OD) along hollow-core optical fibers (HCFs) is
investigated experimentally. Silica-based revolver-type HCFs filled with atmospheric air …

In this paper we explore the application of low-loss multimode anti-resonant hollow-core
fiber (MM-AR-HCF) in the delivery of nanosecond laser pulses at 1? µm wavelength. MM-AR …

This study examines the use of the recently developed hollow core kagome lattice fibers for
delivery of high power laser pulses. Compared to other photonic crystal fibers (PCFs), the …

The present contribution provides a concise review of high power fiber delivery research for
laser ignition applications. The fiber delivery requirements are discussed in terms of exit …

Propagation of an optical discharge along a revolver hollow-core optical fibre under the
action of laser radiation is observed for the first time. As a source of radiation, a repetitively …
