Gap design to enable functionalities into nested antiresonant nodeless fiber based systems

Gap design to enable functionalities into nested antiresonant nodeless fiber based systems
Gap design to enable functionalities into nested antiresonant nodeless fiber based systems
By modifying the interconnection design between standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) and nested antiresonant nodeless type hollow-core fiber (NANF), we create an air gap between SSMF and NANF. This air gap enables the insertion of optical elements, thus providing additional functions. We show low-loss coupling using various graded-index multimode fibers acting as mode-field adapters resulting in different air-gap distances. Finally, we test the gap functionality by inserting a thin glass sheet in the air gap, which forms a Fabry-Perot interferometer and works as a filter with an overall insertion loss of only 0.31 dB.

Abstract

By modifying the interconnection design between standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) and nested antiresonant nodeless type hollow-core fiber (NANF), we create an air gap between SSMF and NANF. This air gap enables the insertion of optical elements, thus providing additional functions. We show low-loss coupling using various graded-index multimode fibers acting as mode-field adapters resulting in different air-gap distances. Finally, we test the gap functionality by inserting a thin glass sheet in the air gap, which forms a Fabry-Perot interferometer and works as a filter with an overall insertion loss of only 0.31 dB.
