S2 measurement of higher order mode content in low loss hypocycloid Kagomé hollow core photonic crystal fiber

We present the first detailed investigation of modal properties in hypocycloid Kagomé fibers; even with an optimized input launch, higher order modes propagate over long fiber lengths, indicative that these modes have low attenuation.
