High coupling efficiency technology of large core hollow-core fiber with single mode fiber.

ABSTRACT

With the research of hollow-core fiber with large core diameter, the coupling efficiency from hollow-core fiber with large core diameter to single-mode fiber is difficult to increase through the traditional technology, we proposed a novel coupling method to improve the coupling efficiency by attaching a pure silica small ball at the front end of single-mode fiber, the coupling efficiency of 50% from hollow-core fiber with a large core diameter of 110 µm to single-mode fiber can be achieved.
