Abstract
A method of manufacturing a hollow core optical fiber from a hollow core optical fiber preform is disclosed, the method including measuring a first dimension of the hollow core optical fiber while drawing the hollow core optical fiber from the hollow core optical fiber preform, comparing the measured first dimension with a predetermined target range, and adjusting a first preform property of the hollow core optical fiber preform if the measured first dimension is outside of the predetermined target range while drawing the hollow core optical fiber from the hollow core optical fiber preform.
