Popis: Sensitive optical experiments in fiber, including for applications in communications and quantum information, are limited by the noise generated when light scatters from thermally excited guided-acoustic phonons. Novel fibers, such as microstructured fibers, offer control over both optical and acoustic waveguide properties, which can be designed to mitigate optomechanical noise. Here, we investigate the optomechanical properties of microstructured anti-resonant hollow-core fibers and demonstrate their promise as a low-noise fiber platform. By developing an ultra-sensitive spectroscopy technique, a seven capillary anti-resonant hollow-core fiber is found to exhibit record low optomechanical coupling (
