Abstract
All-glass leakage channel fibers with core diameter up to ~170μm are demonstrated with substantial differential mode losses. No tight coils are needed for single mode operation, minimizing bend-induced mode reduction. The elimination of air holes significantly enables ease of fabrication and use.
