International Study Reveals Exceptional Property of Next Generation Optical Fibres Written by AZoOpticsFeb 16 2021 Researchers from the University of Southampton and Université Laval, Canada, have successfully measured for the first time back-reflection in cutting-edge hollow-core fibres that is around 10,000 times lower than conventional optical fibres.

Image Credit: University of Southampton This discovery, published this week in The Optical Society’s flagship Optica journal, highlights yet another optical property in which hollow-core fibres are capable of outperforming standard optical fibres. Research into improved optical fibres is key to enable progress in numerous photonic applications. Most notably, these would improve Internet performance that heavily relies on optical fibres for data ....
