Effect of Nested Elements on Avoided Crossing between the Higher-Order Core Modes and the Air-Capillary Modes in Hollow-Core Antiresonant Optical Fibers

Optimal suppression of higher-order modes (HOMs) in hollow-core antiresonant fibers comprising a single ring of thin-walled capillaries was previously studied, and can be achieved when the condition on the capillary-to-core diameter ratio is satisfied (d/D≈0.68). Here we report on the cond...
