Patent number: 12215048Abstract: Methods are known for producing an anti-resonant hollow-core fiber which has a hollow core extending along a fiber longitudinal axis and an inner jacket region that surrounds the hollow core, said jacket region comprising multiple anti-resonant elements. The known methods have the steps of: providing a cladding tube that has a cladding tube inner bore and a cladding tube longitudinal axis along which a cladding tube wall extends that is delimited by an interior and an exterior; providing a number of tubular anti-resonant element preforms; arranging the anti-resonant element preforms at target positions of the interior of the cladding tube wall, thereby forming a primary preform which has a hollow core region and an inner jacket region; and elongating the primary preform in order to form the hollow-core fiber or further processing the primary preform in order to form a secondary preform.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2020Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: HERAEUS QUARZGLAS GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Manuel Rosenberger, Michael Hünermann, Martin Trommer, Kay Schuster, Steffen Weimann
