We describe the history, guiding mechanism, recent advances, applications, and future
prospects for hollow-core negative curvature fibers. We first review one-dimensional slab …

Lying between optical and microwave ranges, the terahertz band in the electromagnetic
spectrum is attracting increased attention. Optical fibers are essential for develo** the full …

Over the past few years, progress in hollow-core optical fiber technology has reduced the
attenuation of these fibers to levels comparable to those of all-solid silica-core single-mode …

We propose a novel hollow core fiber design based on nested and non-touching
antiresonant tube elements arranged around a central core. We demonstrate through …

We present a numerical and experimental demonstration of a waveguide regime in a broad
band spectral range for the hollow core microstructured optical fibers (HC MOFs) made of …

Several classes of non-planar metallic and dielectric waveguides have been proposed in
the literature for guidance of terahertz (THz) or T-ray radiation. In this review, we focus on the …

In the research field of hollow-core optical fiber (HCF), one type of fiber geometry with a
leaky mode nature has unexpectedly taken center stage over the last couple of years: the so …

The field of hybrid optical fibers is one of the most active research areas in current fiber
optics and has the vision of integrating sophisticated materials inside fibers, which are not …

A novel highly sensitive airflow sensor based on Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI) and
Vernier effect is proposed and demonstrated. The sensor is fabricated by splicing a section …
