Long-term stability of hollow core to standard optical fiber interconnection
2021
In this paper, we present results of long-term stability tests of a low-loss (<0.55 dB) hollow core fiber (HCF) to standard optical fiber interconnection prepared by modified gluing-based fiber-array technology. We measured insertion loss of three interconnected HCF samples over a period of 100 days at room temperature, observing a variation in insertion loss of less than 0.02 dB. Subsequently, we placed the HCF samples in a climatic chamber and heated to +85°C in four cycles. Maximum insertion loss variation of 0.10 dB was observed for HCF samples with angled 8° interconnections and only 0.02 dB for a HCF sample with a flat interconnection.
