研究目的
Investigating the recent developments and applications of inhibited-coupling guiding hollow-core optical fibers, focusing on understanding the guidance mechanism and optimizing fiber properties for ultralow loss in various spectral ranges.
研究成果
The research demonstrates that inhibited-coupling guiding hollow-core optical fibers can achieve record low loss in the green spectral range and can be modified to act as mode shapers and polarization discriminators. These advancements open new possibilities for applications in atom optics, atom-surface physics, sensing, and nonlinear optics experiments.
研究不足
The study is limited by the structural non-uniformities along the fiber length, which can affect the consistency of loss measurements. Additionally, the fabrication of fibers with specific cladding designs requires precise control over the drawing process.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
