“…Recently, hollow-core fibers (HCFs) with an air core have attracted considerable attention because they can dramatically reduce nonlinearity compared to silica-core optical fibers [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. In addition dramatically improving the transmission capacity of optical fiber communications, HCFs are extremely advantageous for high-power transmission applications, such as passive optical networks [12] and power-over-fiber [13,14].…”
