We discuss optimization of the optical properties of hollow-core antiresonant reflecting optical waveguides (ARROWs). We demonstrate significant reduction of waveguide loss to 2.6/cm for a 10.4microm(2) mode area after adding an initial etching step of the substrate material. The effect of differences in confinement layer thickness is quantified and an optimized design is presented. The polarization dependence of the waveguide loss is measured and the implications for applications are discussed.
我们讨论了中空反谐振反射光波导（ARROWs）光学特性的优化。我们证明，在对衬底材料进行初始蚀刻步骤后，对于10.4平方微米的模场面积，波导损耗显著降低至2.6/厘米。量化了限制层厚度差异的影响，并给出了优化设计。测量了波导损耗的偏振依赖性，并讨论了其对应用的影响。
