Since their inception, about 20 years ago, hollow-core photonic crystal fiber and its gas-filled
form are now establishing themselves both as a platform in advancing our knowledge on …

Combustion is one of the most dominant energy conversion processes used in all areas of
human life, but global concerns over exhaust gas pollution and greenhouse gas emission …

The present contribution examines the impact of plasma dynamics and plasma-driven fluid
dynamics on the flame growth of laser ignited mixtures and shows that a new dual-pulse …

The stringent emission norms, increasing demands for higher efficient and reliable engine
operation and rapid depletion of petroleum resources, motivated researchers to explore on …

This study focuses on the transition from a laser-induced breakdown plasma to a flame
kernel in two-phase flows. The test rig was a vertical flow channel with a full-cone spray …

We present experimental and modeling studies of air pre-ionization using ultraviolet (UV)
laser pulses and its effect on laser breakdown of an overlapped near-infrared (NIR) pulse …

The focus of this review is recent work to develop microstructured hollow core fibers for two
applications where the flexible delivery of a single mode beam is desired. Also, a brief …

Hollow core fibers, supporting waveguiding in a void, open a room of opportunities for
numerous applications owing to an extended light–matter interaction distance and relatively …

This article presents a brief selective overview of current trends in plasma-assisted ignition
for internal combustion engines. Short duration pulsed nonequilbrium plasmas show …

Aim of the present manuscript is to provide an overview of all possible methods and light
source typologies used by the different research groups for obtaining the energetic nano …
