In this paper, we report the use of a 3-meter low-loss anti-resonant hollow-core fiber (AR-HCF) to deliver up to 300 W continuous-wave laser power at 1080 nm wavelength from a commercial fiber laser source. A near-diffraction-limited beam is measured at the output of the AR-HCF and no damage to the uncooled AR-HCF is observed for several hours of laser delivery operation. The limit of AR-HCF coupling efficiency and laser-induced thermal effects that were observed in our experiment are also discussed.
