Ultra-Large Core Size Hypocycloid-Shape Inhibited Coupling Kagome Fibers for High-Energy Laser Beam Handling

We report on the fabrication and characterization of 19-cell hypocycloid-shape Kagome fibers with core size larger than 100 μm. These inhibited coupling fibers present low propagation loss (100 dB/km) over broad transmission range with low chromatic dispersion combined with ultra-low power overlap w...

Description
Summary:We report on the fabrication and characterization of 19-cell hypocycloid-shape Kagome fibers with core size larger than 100 μm. These inhibited coupling fibers present low propagation loss (100 dB/km) over broad transmission range with low chromatic dispersion combined with ultra-low power overlap with silica surround, making them an efficient solution for ultra-high power laser handling, ultra-fast laser delivery, and plasma photonics applications.
