This study presents an overview of nonlinear effects in hollow-core fibers (HCFs). We experimentally evaluate the non- linearity in terms of stimulated Brillouin scattering and four-wave mixing. Compared with conventional silica-core single-mode fibers, we show that HCFs has ultra-low nonlinearity, which is useful for high-power transmission applications such as power-over-fiber.
