- Consolidates one contributed conference paper (Cleo Europe) and one invited paper (SOF). Through numerical and experimental observations, it demonstrates unequivocally and for the first time the detrimental effect that glass nodes have on the performance of hollow core antiresonant fibres. The conclusions were essential to shift the research focus of the entire community to nodeless fibre designs. Teachings from this work were key to develop the revolutionary Nested Antiresonant Nodeless fibre (NANF) which has led to an ERC grant (Lightpipe, €2.7m), a 50 person spin-off (Lumenisity) and demonstration of the lowest loss (0.28dB/km) hollow core fibre ever produced.
