Abstract
Hollow-core fibers with fused silica and metal claddings are studied for transmission of femtosecond optical pulses at a wavelength of 800 nm. The measured transmission loss of a silver-coated hollow fiber with a core diameter of 250 μm is 0.44 dB/m. A bending loss of 1.1 dB/m was measured for this waveguide with a radius of curvature of 1 m. It is shown that the fundamental hybrid mode HE11 has negligible pulse spreading. In the presence of higher order modes modal dispersion becomes dominant and depends strongly on the core diameter.
