Development of low loss, wide bandwidth hollow core photonic bandgap fibres for telecom applications

Development of low loss, wide bandwidth hollow core photonic bandgap fibres for telecom applications
Hollow core Photonic Bandgap Fibres (PBGFs) with a 19-cell core geometry and displaying ultralow loss over record 3 dB transmission bandwidths have been developed. In particular, we demonstrate PBGFs with as low as 4.5 dB/km loss at 2 µm and over >150 nm wide sub-10 dB/km transmission. Absorbing gas species present in our fibres were identified and their loss contribution quantified. An initial explanation on the origin of CO2 absorption around 2 µm is formulated along with possible means for its removal.

Abstract

Hollow core Photonic Bandgap Fibres (PBGFs) with a 19-cell core geometry and displaying ultralow loss over record 3 dB transmission bandwidths have been developed. In particular, we demonstrate PBGFs with as low as 4.5 dB/km loss at 2 µm and over >150 nm wide sub-10 dB/km transmission. Absorbing gas species present in our fibres were identified and their loss contribution quantified. An initial explanation on the origin of CO2 absorption around 2 µm is formulated along with possible means for its removal.
