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 …

Sensors are devices or systems able to detect, measure and convert magnitudes from any
domain to an electrical one. Using light as a probe for optical sensing is one of the most …

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

We investigate hollow-core fibers for fiber delivery of high power ultrashort laser pulses. We
use numerical techniques to design an anti-resonant hollow-core fiber having one layer of …

High-performance interferometers, gyroscopes, frequency combs, quantum information
experiments and optical clocks rely on the transmission of light beams with the highest …

The optical performance characteristics of anti‐resonant hollow‐core fibers (known as AR‐
HCFs or ARFs) are improving rapidly, but the polarization maintaining issue with these fibers …

We systematically study different approaches to introduce high birefringence and high
polarization extinction ratio in hollow core antiresonant fibers. Having shown the …

A hollow-core anti-resonant fiber (HC-ARF) design based on hybrid silica/silicon cladding is
proposed for single-polarization, single-mode and high birefringence. We show that by …

This paper presents a review of the development of optical fibers made of multiple materials,
particularly including silica glass, soft glass, polymers, hydrogels, biomaterials …
