The invention discloses a string
connection type hollow-
core optical fiber and an optical
transmission system, and belongs to the technical field of optical fibers. The
optical fiber comprises: a
hollow core region (101); an outer cladding (301); the multiple negative curvature medium units (201) are distributed around the
hollow core area and located on the inner side of the outer cladding layer; a
cell wall (601); a
cell space (701) commonly defined by the negative curvature medium cells and the
cell walls; the entity crossing
layers (401) are arranged in the unit spaces and stretch across the unit spaces, and the two ends of the entity crossing
layers are connected to the unit walls. Different from a traditional nested structure, the cross-over layer is adopted to replace a nested
pipe, the two ends of the cross-over layer are fixedly connected to the unit walls to form bidirectional support, and the
machining yield and the
structural stability are remarkably improved; the number of air chambers is reduced and the manufacturing process is simplified; the cross-layer configuration of more
layers can be realized, the limitation of the number of layers of a traditional nested structure is broken through, the
transmission loss is effectively reduced, and the working bandwidth is expanded.
