Top-Hat Beam Shaping via Asymmetric Hollow-Core Anti-Resonant Fibers

Conventional low-loss Hollow-Core Anti-Resonant Fibers (ARFs) deliver a near-Gaussian fundamental mode profile that is suboptimal for applications favoring uniform irradiance. We show here that deliberately breaking the cladding symmetry can allow for delivering a low-loss fundam...
