PCTF (pear-shaped conjoined-tube fiber) is presented as a new ultraviolet (UV) guiding fiber with low loss. Results indicate that two PCTFs have better properties than that of previous studies in the UV band. The total loss of two PCTFs is less than 1 dB/km, and its bandwidth exceeds 150 nm between 0.2 and 0.4 μm. Furthermore, PCTF's single-mode performance is very promising, as evidenced by the higher-order mode extinction ratio (HOMER) over 103. The fabrication tolerance is discussed in this paper and results show that the tolerance is good enough to fabricate by normal fiber drawing process. This fiber is promising in applications for nonlinear optics, ultrafast optics, high power laser, and quantum optics.
