Abstract
In this chapter, we describe a review covering the development of the negative curvature hollow core fiber for the mid-IR region. The topics cover various types of hollow core fiber and their improvement made in term of attenuation of fiber, followed by a description of the guiding mechanism of the negative curvature hollow core fiber (NC-HCF) using antiresonant reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW) mechanism. Then, we present the general fabrication steps and the fabrication process for negative curvature fiber. In the second part of the chapter, the design and properties of the hollow core applied in the other research work are presented.
