Hollow-core optical fibers: current state and development prospects

, , ,  
Prokhorov General Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Dianov Fiber Optics Research Center, ul. Vavilova 38, Moscow, 119991, Russian Federation

The history of the development and current state of hollow-core optical fibers are reviewed. The basic properties which determine the competitive advantages of hollow-core fibers and promising areas for their practical application are discussed. Recent advances in reducing optical losses and the prospects for telecommunication applications of hollow-core fibers, issues of transporting high-intensity optical radiation, and results on nonlinear compression and the generation of ultrashort pulses in gas-filled hollow-core fibers are reviewed. A separate section is devoted to the latest achievements in the development of gas fiber lasers using both optical radiation and gas discharge for pumping.
