Abstract
We summarise our progress on fabricating hollow core fibres with <250 nm silica wall structures needed for UV guidance, with particular focus on deep UV guidance(<280 nm). Through improvements in our fabrication process, we can produce thin glass walls in tubular hollow core fibres from one cane stage stack-and-draw methods that can have high yield (1-5 km). We have produced both single-mode and multi-mode hollow core fibres that guide most of the UV wavelength range, down to the shortest wavelength guidance achievable in air.
