Abstract
The invention relates to the production of an anti-resonant hollow-core fiber consisting of a capillary blank and a sleeve tube. The capillary blank comprises an external capillary and a nested internal capillary, and is stretched to a maximum external diameter ODARE_cap and a maximum wall thickness WTARE_caP. The blank is mounted on the inside of the sleeve tube. In order to retain the advantages of the pre-produced capillary blank with respect to ease of assembly and precision, while keeping the associated drawbacks owing to ovality low and predictable, it is proposed that the geometric internal diameter and external diameter of the external capillary and of the internal capillary, as well as ODARE_cap and WTARE_caP, are aligned in relation to one another in such a way that the ARE-external capillary of the capillary blank has a degree of ovality of less than 1.025.
