Minimising ‘Cliff Edge’ Artifacts in Hollow Core Fiber (HCF) Cleaving
Hollow core fibers (HCFs) are transforming optical communications with their low latency, high transmission speeds, and reduced nonlinearity. But their unique structure also introduces new challenges, especially in the cleaving process. Traditional cleaving methods can create “cliff edge” artifacts, the jagged or uneven faces which lead to higher loss and poor splicing quality. These defects […]
