Classical expression for the propagation constant and absorption coefficient derived by Marcatili and Schmeltzer for hollow-core fiber (HCF) has been slightly modified to account for noble gas material dispersion at high gas pressure. As a proof of concept, the nonlinear refractive index of xenon (X...
