Abstract
A profound knowledge of the cladding mode properties and their interaction with the core modes is decisive for successfully designing inhibited-coupling (IC) guiding hollow-core photonic-crystal fibers (HC-PCFs). In IC fibers, the core and cladding modes coupling is robustly minimized due to a strong mismatch between their transverse phases and a small overlap between their fields. In the latest years, great attention has been given to IC fibers, especially since the introduction of the hypocycloid core contour concept [3], which entailed a dramatic loss reduction and preceded the development of single-ring tubular-lattice (SR-TL) HC-PCFs [4]. The interest on SR-TL HC-PCFs is due to their noteworthy properties such as geometric simplicity and the absence of connecting nodes in the fiber cladding, which favors IC guidance. Efforts on SR-TL HC-PCFs development entailed the accomplishment of ultra-low loss and broad transmission bandwidth [5].
