Hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers and methods of manufacturing the same

A hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber has a hollow core 103 and a cladding 105. The cladding surrounds the core at a core boundary 107 and comprises a lattice or network of struts 109,109 and interstitial nodes 111,111 which together define an array of cavities 115. The effective diameter of the core...

Zusammenfassung:A hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber has a hollow core 103 and a cladding 105. The cladding surrounds the core at a core boundary 107 and comprises a lattice or network of struts 109,109 and interstitial nodes 111,111 which together define an array of cavities 115. The effective diameter of the core is greater than about 1.05 nΛ, where n is the number of cells removed to form the core along the diagonal and Λ is the average spacing of the cavities or pitch P.
