Effect of the second ring of antiresonant tubes in negative-curvature fibers by Wang, Yuxi, Md Imran Hasan, Muhammad Rosdi Abu Hassan, Chang, Wonkeun

“…We determine the range of structural parameters for achieving the optimum light guidance in the double-ring geometry. Our study shows that the double-ring negative-curvature fiber can improve the confinement loss by up to four orders of magnitude with considerably better bending and single-mode performance when compared to its single-ring counterpart.…”
