“…The optical attenuation has reached a record of 1.2 dB/km [7]; entire fabrication procedure of a HC-PBGF can be completed within 1 day; the anti-crossing between the core mode and the surface mode has been clearly identified [8,9] and can be deliberately engineered for specific purposes, e.g., polarization maintaining in HC-PBGF [10,11]. However, the intrinsic ∼70 Thz transmission bandwidth originating from the PBG guidance mechanism and the low damage threshold caused by large spatial overlap of the core mode with the glass cladding [7,12] limit the lab-on-a-fiber applications in this kind of HCFs.…”

We detailedly describe a recently-developed semi-analytical method to quantitatively calculate light transmission properties of hollow-core anti-resonant fibers (HC-ARFs). Formation of equiphase interface at fiber's outermost boundary and outward light emission ruled by Helmholtz equation in fiber's transverse plane constitute the basis of this method. Our semi-analytical calculation results agree well with those of precise simulations and clarify the light leakage dependences on azimuthal angle, geometrical shape and polarization. Using this method, we show investigations on HC-ARFs having various core shapes (e.g., polygon, hypocycloid) with single-and multi-layered core-surrounds. The polarization properties of ARFs are also studied. Our semi-analytical method provides clear physical insights into the light guidance in ARF and can play as a fast and useful design aid for better ARFs.

“…Nevertheless, in the absence of evacuation at sufficiently long interaction lengths of the radiation with the gaseous medium, the nonlinear properties of the gas can exert a strong influence on the spectral-temporal characteristics of powerful ultrashort pulses [18,[71][72][73][74][75].…”

“…The 2.4 MW pulse with a spectrum shifted to the long-wavelength edge of the band was obtained at the fiber output, when a 110-fs pulse with 900-nJ energy at a wavelength of 1470 nm, was launched into a three-m-long fiber. In [75], the pulses were transmitted through a photonic crystal fiber with a hollow core filled with air at a wavelength of 800 nm. The Raman solitons at the output of the 5-m-long fiber had a peak power of 208 kW and 290 fs duration.…”

Revolver optical fibers (RF) are special type of hollow-core optical fibers with negative curvature of the core-cladding boundary and with cladding that is formed by a one ring layer of capillaries. The physical mechanisms contributing to the waveguiding parameters of RFs are discussed. The optical properties and possible applications of RFs are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the mid-IR hydrogen Raman lasers that are based on RFs and generating in the wavelength region from 2.9 to 4.4 μm.

“…Recently, Kagomé-style hollow core PCFs with high transmission and low dispersion for ultrafast applications were demonstrated [15,16]. Another approach employing soliton formation in comparatively long hollow core fibers (8 m) by using regenerative amplifiers with pulse energies above 50 nJ resulted in pulse durations below 100 fs [17,18]. For industrial applications incorporating long-range optical fibers, the advantage of a tunable dispersion is outbalanced by the large losses (> 5 dB/m) and the costs of PCFs.…”

Abstract:We present a fiber-coupled pump-probe system with a sub-50 fs time resolution and a nanosecond time window, based on high-speed asynchronous optical sampling. By use of a transmission grism pulse compressor, we achieve pump pulses with a pulse duration of 42 fs, an average power of 300 mW and a peak power exceeding 5 kW at a pulse repetition rate of 1 GHz after 6 m of optical fiber. With this system we demonstrate thickness mapping of soft X-ray mirrors at a sub-nm thickness resolution on a cm 2 scan area. In addition, terahertz field generation with resolved spectral components of up to 3.5 THz at a GHz frequency resolution is demonstrated. References and links1. C. L. Hoy, N. J. Durr, P. Chen, W.
