Highly multi-mode anti-resonant hollow core fibres
Robbie Mears, Kerrianne Harrington, William J Wadsworth +2
We report the characterisation of anti-resonant hollow core optical fibres guiding at least 50 spatial modes in the infrared. Their propagation losses were measured to be between 0…

Resonance-free deep ultraviolet to near infrared supercontinuum generation in a hollow-core antiresonant fibre
Mohammed Sabbah, Robbie Mears, Kerrianne Harrington +4
Supercontinuum generation in the ultraviolet spectral region is challenging in solid-core optical fibres due to solarization and photodarkening. Antiresonant hollow-core fibres hav…

Optical absorption spectrum reveals gaseous chlorine in anti-resonant hollow core fibres
Kerrianne Harrington, Robbie Mears, James M. Stone +3
We have observed unexpected spectral attenuation of ultraviolet light in freshly drawn hollow core optical fibres. When the fibre ends are left open to atmosphere, this loss featur…
