Hollow core fibers are considered as promising candidates to deliver intense temporally overlapping picosecond pulses in applications such as stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy and endoscopy because of their inherent low nonlinearity compared to solid-core silica fibers. Here we demonstrate that, contrary to prior assumptions, parasitic signals are generated in Kagome lattice hollow core fibers. We identify the origin of the parasitic signals as an interplay between the Kerr nonlinearity of air and frequency-dependent fiber losses. Importantly, we identify the special cases of experimental parameters that are free from parasitic signals, making hollow core fibers ideal candidates for noise-free SRS microscopy and endoscopy.

Optimum suppression of higher order modes in single-ring hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (SR-PCFs) occurs when the capillary-to-core diameter ratio d/D = 0.68. Here we report that, in SR-PCFs with sub-optimal values of d/D, higher-order mode supp
ression can be recovered by spinning the preform during fiber drawing, thus introducing a continuous helical twist. This geometrically increases the effective axial propagation constant (initially too low) of the LP01-like modes of the capillaries surrounding the core, enabling robust single-mode operation. The effect is explored by means of extensive numerical modeling, an analytical model and a series of experiments. Prism-assisted side-coupling is used to investigate the losses and near-field patterns of individual fiber modes in both the straight and twisted cases. More than 12 dB/m improvement in higher order mode suppression is achieved experimentally in a twisted PCF. The measurements also show that the higher order mode profiles change with twist rate, as predicted by numerical simulations. Helical twisting offers an additional tool for achieving effectively endlessly single-mode operation in hollow-core SR-PCFs.
We present empirical formulae that can provide dispersion and average effective area of the fundamental mode in hollow-core antiresonant fibers. The formulae draw on the structural parameters of the fiber, and allow one to obtain the guiding properti
es over a wide spectral bandwidth, without the need for time consuming numerical simulations. The formulae are validated by comparing their results with those obtained using a finite-element method. We also analyze the effects of changing the number of antiresonant tubes, as well as adding nested elements in the antiresonant tubes on the guiding properties.
We investigate various methods for extending the simple analytical capillary model to describe the dispersion and loss of anti-resonant hollow-core fibers without the need of detailed finite-element simulations across the desired wavelength range. Th
is poor-mans model can with a single fitting parameter quite accurately mimic dispersion and loss resonances and anti-resonances from full finite-element simulations. Due to the analytical basis of the model it is easy to explore variations in core size and cladding wall thickness, and should therefore provide a valuable tool for numerical simulations of the ultrafast nonlinear dynamics of gas-filled hollow-core fibers.
By performing quantum-noise-limited optical heterodyne detection, we observe polarization noise in light after propagation through a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF). We compare the noise spectrum to the one of a standard fiber and find an in
crease of noise even though the light is mainly transmitted in air in a hollow-core PCF. Combined with our simulation of the acoustic vibrational modes in the hollow-core PCF, we are offering an explanation for the polarization noise with a variation of guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering (GAWBS). Here, instead of modulating the strain in the fiber core as in a solid core fiber, the acoustic vibrations in hollow-core PCF influence the effective refractive index by modulating the geometry of the photonic crystal structure. This induces polarization noise in the light guided by the photonic crystal structure.
An optical trapping scheme is proposed by which ultrashort low-amplitude radiations, co-propagating with a continuous train of temporal pulses in a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber filled with Raman-inactive noble gases, can be trapped and reshaped
into optical soliton trains by means of cross-phase modulation interactions. The scheme complements and extends a recently proposed idea that a single-pulse soliton could trap an ultrashort small-amplitude radiation in a symmetric hollow-core photonic crystal fiber filled with a noble gas, thus preventing its dispersion [M. F. Saleh and F. Biancalana, Phys. Rev. A87, 043807 (2013)]. We find a family of three distinct soliton-train boundstates with different propagation constants, one being a duplicate of the trapping pulse train. We analyze the effects of self-steepening on the trapping (i.e. pump) and trapped (i.e. probe) field profiles and find that self-steepening causes a uniform shift in position of the pump soliton train, but a complex motion for the probe dominanted by anharmonic oscillations of their temporal positions and phases. The new trapping scheme is intended for optical applications involving optical-field cloning and duplication via wave-guided-wave processes, in photonic fiber media in which interplay time-division multiplexed high-intensity pulses coexisting with continuous-wave radiations.
