Abstract: Multicore optical fibers are disclosed that have randomly arranged cores within a cladding matrix. In some cases, the cores are defined by air lines formed in a glass matrix. The cores can have an edge-to-edge spacing designed so that the multicore optical fiber operates in either a weak-coupling regime or a strong-coupling regime. Imaging systems and optical fiber communication systems that utilize the multicore fibers disclosed here are also presented.

Abstract: An anti-resonant hollow core optical fiber preform (100) that includes an outer cladding (110), a plurality of structural tubes (120), and a central support tube (130). The outer cladding (110) has a length L, a central longitudinal axis, and a hollow interior. The plurality of structural tubes (120) are disposed within the hollow interior of the outer cladding (110), the plurality of structural tubes (120) each having a length that extends the length of the outer cladding (110). And the central support tube (130) is disposed within the hollow interior of the outer cladding (110) such that the plurality of structural tubes (120) are disposed radially outward of the central support tube (130), the central support tube (130) having a length that extends along the central longitudinal axis of the outer cladding (110). Furthermore, the length of the central support tube (130) is less than the length L of the outer cladding (110). A method of making such preform (100) comprises bonding central support tube (130) to the plurality of structural tubes (120).
