Over the past few years, progress in hollow-core optical fiber technology has reduced the
attenuation of these fibers to levels comparable to those of all-solid silica-core single-mode …

▪ Abstract The development of microstructured optical fibers has led to the realization of
many optical properties in fiber form that were not previously attainable. This chapter …

Nonlinear fiber optics concerns with the nonlinear optical phenomena occurring inside
optical fibers. Although the field ofnonlinear optics traces its beginning to 1961, when a ruby …

In this paper we present a full-vectorial finite-difference analysis of microstructured optical
fibers. A new mode solver is described which uses Yee??? s 2-D mesh and an index …

Optical fibres have for almost three decades been fabricated of solid glass. It was, therefore,
a radical change that took place, when researchers in the late 90's started to fabricate hair …

5. Optical Solitons in Fibers Page 1 5. Optical Solitons in Fibers In this chapter we describe
various properties of optical solitons. 5.1 Soliton Solutions and the Results of Inverse Scattering …

We consider the effective area Ae. of photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with a triangular air-hole
lattice in the cladding. It is first of all an important quantity in the context of non-linearities, but …

The first microstructured polymer optical fibre is described. Both experimental and
theoretical evidence is presented to establish that the fibre is effectively single moded at …

A D-shaped photonic quasi-crystal fiber (PQF) sensor based on surface plasmon resonance
is proposed for refractive index (RI) sensing. The influences of the width of the gold film, the …

This book aims to provide expert guidance to researchers experienced in classical
technology, as well as to those new to the field. A variety of perspectives on Photonic Crystal …
