Abstract
Multimode (MM) laser light has a vast application history spanning from laser pump sources, to high-speed optical links, to imaging systems but can suffer enormous inefficiencies when coupled through a solid core optical fiber for long transmission path lengths. One way to improve the MM transmission is by replacing the traditional solid-core fibers with uniquely tailored nested antiresonant hollow-core fibers (NANFs). By improving upon previous design methods, one can extend the application of the HCF to 100s of modes and beyond while maintaining low loss thus enabling novel concepts such as power beaming through fiber and the transmission of spatiotemporal tailored ultrafast wavepackets. We report a uniquely designed, fabricated, and tested MM NANF that enables low-loss transmission of 100s of modes.
