Antiresonant Hollow Core Fibers for Extreme Light Propagation
Abstract
This program will study and demonstrate novel air guiding fibers that address critical physical limitations of optical fibers. These radically new antiresonant hollow core fiber designs have the potential for light transport in a single mode over wide transmission windows with ultra-low loss (<1 dB/km) and orders of magnitude higher damage and nonlinear thresholds compared to conventional fibers. Fibers with this level of performance can open up applications not possible using current fibers such as: long distance high optical power transport (kW power delivery over km range), extreme peak power/energy delivery, low latency broadband data transmission, as well as low-loss UV and mid-IR transmission.
