  • Bending Loss of Single-Mode Polarization Maintaining Fiber

    Bending Loss of Single-Mode Polarization Maintaining Fiber

    Bending loss of polarization maintaining optical fiber is important in optical sensing systems and coherent communications. The internal stress exerted by the elliptical cladding creates stress-induced birefringence so that the fiber can maintain the polarization state of linearly. In the paper, a hollow-core anti-resonant fiber (HC-ARF) that can support SPSM beam transmission with an average loss of 15 dB/km in wavelengths beyond 1000 nm is proposed. Here, we report the first experimental realization of a low-loss, polarization filtering antiresonant hollow-core fiber (AR-HCF). These two fibers are named based on the stress rods used.
