Theoretical eval ation shows that the TE mode is dominant in metal 11 hollow fiber and has high co pling efficiency when alinearly polarized light so rce is la nched. HE mode is mainly 11 s pported in dielectric-coated metal hollow fiber with an optim m thickness for the dielectric film. The transmission loss of the TE and HE mode is 8. 4 dB/ m and 2 dB/ m respectively at the wavelength of 200 m for the hollow 11 11 fibers with 1 mm bore size. The effects of optical constants of metals and dielectric materials on atten ation coefficient are also disc ssed to optimize the transmission performance of
