contents We present the flexible delivery of picosecond laser pulses with up to 20 W average power over a 3-m-long sample of anti-resonant hollow-core fiber (AR-HCF) for laser micromachining applications. Our experiments highlight the importance of optical mode purity of the AR-HCF for the manufacturing precision. We demonstrate that compared with an AR-HCF sample with a capillary to core (d/D) ratio of ~0.5, the AR-HCF with a d/D ratio of ~0.68 exhibits better capability of high-order-mode suppression, giving rise to improved micromachining quality. Moreover, the AR-HCF delivery system exhibits better pointing stability and set-up flexibility than the free-space beam delivery system. These results pave the way to practical applications of AR-HCF in developing advanced equipment for ultrafast laser micromachining.
