Abstract
A hollow-core optical fiber may include a hollow core extending along a central longitudinal axis of the fiber; a substrate; a plurality of first cladding elements spaced apart from each other and positioned between the hollow core and the substrate, each of the first cladding elements extending in a direction parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the fiber, each of the first cladding elements including a first capillary; and a plurality of second cladding elements spaced apart from each other and positioned between the hollow core and the substrate, each of the second cladding elements extending in a direction parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the fiber, each of the second cladding elements including a second capillary. Each of the first cladding elements directly contacts the inner surface of the substrate, and none of the second cladding elements directly contacts the inner surface of the substrate.
