An optical fiber may include a cladding structure extending along a fiber length providing a hollow interior fiber region and one or more sets of anti-resonant (AR) elements formed as walled structures with walls extending along the fiber length. The one or more sets of AR elements may be distributed around an interior wall of the cladding structure and, configured to guide light along the fiber length in a central portion of the hollow interior fiber region based on optical anti-resonance. At least one of the one or more sets of AR elements may comprise a first AR element, two or more support structures disposed on an inner surface of the first AR element, and a second AR element disposed on at least one of the two or more support structures.
