Photonic Bandgap Fiber Reaches Telecom Scale

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SOUTHAMPTON, UK, June 11, 2015 — New fabrication tools have enabled the creation of an 11-km photonic bandgap fiber that previously could only be manufactured in lengths of hundreds of meters. Its reach, as well as its low loss and a broad transmission bandwidth, make it a candidate for telecommunications applications. The hollow-core fiber supports >200-nm bandwidth with a longitudinally uniform loss of approximately 5 dB/km at 1560 nm. It has a 19-cell core and five cladding ring structure and was fabricated using a conventional two-stage stack-and-draw technique. Cross section of a hollow-core...Read full article
