In this paper, in view of mode field matching problem between the anti-resonant hollow-core optical fiber and the conventional optical fibers. We introduce an intermediate SMF fiber with thermal expanded core (TEC) at one end as a transition fiber; at the same time, when we fusion splicing, we use multiple heating methods to avoid the transitional collapse of optical fibers. The optical fiber rotation method is used to monitor the change of optical power and achieve high matching to the shaft to obtain a higher extinction ratio.
