Low-loss and low-bend-sensitivity mid-infrared guidance in a hollow-core-photonic-bandgap fiber

Hollow-core photonic-bandgap fiber, fabricated from high-purity synthetic silica, with a wide operating bandwidth between 3.1 and 3.7µm, is reported. A minimum attenuation of 0.13dB/m is achieved through a 19-cell core design with a thin core wall surround. The loss is reduced further to 0.05dB/m fo...
