Microwave Discharge in Hollow Optical Fibers as a Pump for Gas Fiber Lasers

To excite plasma in the core of a hollow fiber, a scheme similar to a slot antenna in the wall of a metal microwave waveguide was proposed and implemented. An analytical estimate of the magnitude of the electric field in the slot region where the fiber with a hollow core is placed has been obtained....
