The dielectric layer enhances the re lection rate and hence lowers the transmission loss, whereas it brings additional loss due to its material absorption. The in luence o dielectric absorption on the structure parameters o the hollow iber is theoretically discussed. Calculation results show that the optimum re ractive index o an absorptive dielectric layer is greater than that o a per ect transparent dielectric layer. The optimum thickness o the dielectric layer to minimize the loss o HE11 mode becomes smaller due to t he absorption. The absorption tolerance is also inv estigated when considering such actors as inner diameter, re ractiv e index, and transmission wavelength. It is shown that absorption tolerance decreases when the inner diameter becomes smaller or when the transmission wavelength becomes larger . I n extreme cases o small inner-diameter or large transmission wavelength, the absorption tolerance is not existent. The calculation results are use ul to the structure design and material selection in the abrication o t
