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

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 …

We first use numerical simulations to show that bending losses of hollow antiresonant fibers
are a strong function of their geometrical structure. We then demonstrate this by fabricating a …

Hollow core antiresonant fibers offer new possibilities in the near infrared and visible
spectral range. I show here that the great flexibility of this technology can allow the design …

Antiresonant hollow-core fibers (AR-HCFs) have opened up exciting possibilities for high-
energy and high-power laser delivery because of their exceptionally low nonlinearities and …

We report on numerical and experimental studies showing the influence of arc curvature on
the confinement loss in hypocycloid-core Kagome hollow-core photonic crystal fiber. The …

An improved design for hollow antiresonant fibers (HAFs) is presented. It consists of adding
extra antiresonant glass elements within the air cladding region of an antiresonant hollow …

In this work, we demonstrate a novel cascaded fiber-optic structure depending on Fabry-
Perot interference and anti-resonance (AR) effect for seawater salinity and temperature …

A gas pressure sensor based on an antiresonant reflecting guidance mechanism in a hollow-
core fiber (HCF) with an open microchannel is experimentally demonstrated for gas …
