Low loss in gas filled hollow core photonic crystal fiber

Abstract EN

The work in this paper focuses on the experimental confirming of the losses in photonic crystal fibers (PCF) on the transmission of Q-switched Nd : YAG laser.

First HC-PCF was evacuated to 0.1 mbar then the microstructure fiber (PCF) was filled with He gas and N2 gas.

Second the input power and output power of Q-switched Nd : YAG laser was measured in hollow core photonic band gap fiber (HCPCF).

In this work loss was calculated in the hollow core photonic crystal fiber (HCPCF) filled with air then N2, and He gases respectively.

It has been observed that the minimum loss obtained in case of filling (HC-PCF) with He gas and its equal to 15.070 Db / km at operating wavelength (1040-1090) nm.
