We describe the history, guiding mechanism, recent advances, applications, and future
prospects for hollow-core negative curvature fibers. We first review one-dimensional slab …

Photonic crystal fibers guide light by corralling it within a periodic array of microscopic air
holes that run along the entire fiber length. Largely through their ability to overcome the …

fundamentals of lightwave technology, along with material on pulse compression techniques …

In order to control dispersion and dispersion slope of indexguiding photonic crystal fibers
(PCFs), a new controlling technique of chromatic dispersion in PCF is reported. Moreover …

Since the advent of quantum mechanics and the clear demonstration of the existence
of'matter waves', physicists have never failed to take advantage of concepts and theoretical …

An interesting feature of microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) is that their properties can be
adjusted by filling or coating of the holes. Some applications require selective filling or …

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 …

Computational methods for determining the complex propagation constants of leaky
waveguide modes have become so powerful and so readily available that it is possible to …
