The analysis presented in this paper indicates that the FM radio spectrum is underutilized in the areas of the continental United States that have a population of 100000 or less. These locations have...
View ArticleLow-loss hollow-core silica fibers with adjacent nested anti-resonant tubes
We report on numerical design optimization of hollow-core antiresonant fibers with the aim of reducing transmission losses. We show that re-arranging the nested anti-resonant tubes in the cladding to...
View ArticleLow-loss single-mode hollow-core fiber with anisotropic anti-resonant elements
A hollow-core fiber using anisotropic anti-resonant tubes in the cladding is proposed for low loss and effectively single-mode guidance. We show that the loss performance and higher-order mode...
