Coupling NANF to Silicon Photonics circuits

We present the first demonstration of optical coupling between hollow core fibers and Silicon Photonics circuits. We achieved moderate excess coupling loss with respect to SMF-28 and achieved 25 Gb/s data transmission over NANF fibers. © 2021 The Authors
