Glass fibres with a hollow core and a two-dimensionally periodic cladding are studied experimentally and theoretically. The spectrum of modes guided in the hollow core of these fibres displays isolated maxima, indicating that waveguiding is supported due to the high reflectivity of the fibre claddin...
