Hollow-core anti-resonant (HC-AR) fibers where a symmetric distribution of cladding tubes compose a “negative-curvature” core boundary have extraordinary optical properties, such as low transmission loss, wide transmission bands and weak power overlap between the core modes and the silica parts [1], especially when smaller tubes are “nested” inside the larger tubes [2, 3].
Here we investigate the role of curvature and position of the nested tube and we show that the position of the nested tube has a much more pronounced effect compared to the curvature on the overall performance and single-mode operation of the fiber.
