Abstract:We report a 7-tube single-ring hollow-core anti-resonant fiber (SR-ARF) with a record low transmission loss of 4.3 dB/km @1080 nm, which is almost half of the current lowest loss record of an SR-ARF (7.7 dB/km @750 nm). The 7-tube SR-ARF has a large core diameter of 43 µm and a wide low-loss transmission window exceeding 270 nm for the 3-dB bandwidth. Moreover, it exhibits an excellent beam quality with an M2 factor of 1.05 after 10-m-long transmission. The robust single-mode operation, ultralow loss, and wide… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
