Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a polarization-maintaining hollow-core antiresonant fiber. An inner layer of the polarization-maintaining hollow-core antiresonant fiber includes first thin walls, second thin walls, and third thin walls. The present disclosure introduces high birefringence through the wall thickness difference between the first thin wall and the second thin wall, and effectively amplifies a birefringence effect achieved by the wall thickness difference through quasi multi-symmetric structures of the first thin walls and the second thin walls. In addition, the present disclosure reduces the transmission loss and suppresses the leakage of light through the inner layer, particularly, the third thin walls of the inner layer, so that the fiber of the present disclosure realizes polarization maintaining, and meanwhile, reduce the loss as far as possible.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ultralow loss hollow-core antiresonant fiber, which includes an outer layer structure, a hollow-core area and a plurality of closed cavities. The radial section of the inner surface of the outer layer structure is a circle with a first radius. In the circumferential direction of the inner surface of the outer layer structure, the plurality of the closed cavities are spaced from one another and are distributed uniformly and circumferentially. Each closed cavity includes: an outermost wall serving as a first thin wall, and the radial section of the outermost wall is a fan shape or a circle with a second radius. Each closed cavity further includes: second thin walls located in the inner space surrounded by the inner surface of the outermost wall, and the end surfaces of the second thin walls are annular thin-walled structures with thin-walled spacers arranged in the centers.

Abstract: An anti-resonant hollow core optical fiber having multiple resonant layers. The optical fiber comprises a low-refractive index core region (1) and a high-refractive index cladding region. The high-refractive index cladding region comprises an inner cladding region (4) and an outer cladding region (5). The outer cladding region (5) clads the inner cladding region (4) and the core region (1). The inner cladding region (4) comprises a first anti-resonant layer (2) and a second anti-resonant layer (3), and the first anti-resonant layer (2) and the second anti-resonant layer (3) surround the core region (1); and the first anti-resonant layer (2) comprises several layers of microcapillary tubes, and the second anti-resonant layer (3) supports the first anti-resonant layer (2). The optical fiber adopts a double-cladding structure and uses two or more anti-resonant layers such that theoretically simulated loss is reduced to 0.
