Optical Fibres
Hollow-Core Fibres PCF
Anti-Resonant Fibres - ARF
Low latency transmission, power delivery
The optical signal in a hollow core anti-resonant fibre propagates in an air core surrounded by a single ring of anti-resonant non-touching tubes. Guidance is based on an anti-resonant effect from the thin glass membranes of the tubes. The extremely low overlap of guided power with the surrounding silica, less than 2×10-5, added to the mode effective area, confers to this fibre design a record material non-linearity.
Main characteristics
- High damage threshold
- Nearly single mode guidance
- Ultra low dispersion in the transmission bands
Applications
- Low latency data transmission
- Gas-filled AR hollow core fibre laser
- Molecular tracing, gas detection
- High power delivery for pico- and sub-picosecond optical pulses
