Abstract

Recent Anti-Resonant Hollow-Core Fiber (ARHCF) prototypes have shown a steady decrease in loss. Theoretical predictions indicate that they could eventually outperform conventional fibers, both for loss and optical bandwidth. In this paper we investigate the potential impact of hypothetical high-performance ARHCFs on long-haul optical communication systems.
