摘要：
A strategy for suppressing higher-order modes in aircore bandgap fibers is proposed. Simulations confirm that significant suppression of unwanted modes is achieved by including index-matched air-guiding structures in the cladding. Suppressing higher-order modes offers to improve the fundamental loss limit in aircore fibers, addressing a key obstacle to the development of this technology. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America
