Abstract

We review the topic, focusing first on a discussion of the key parameters, limits of coupling loss, and measurement techniques. We then follow by reviewing the literature, including mode-field adaptation methods, and assembly approaches. Finally, we briefly cover the topic of hollow core fibre connection with non-standard single mode fibres, and finish with a review of components that can be made directly within the connection. We conclude with a summary of key achievements and present our view on key remaining challenges.
