All-silica single-mode optical fiber with photonic crystal cladding
TL;DR: The fabrication of a new type of optical waveguide: the photonic crystal fiber that supports a single robust low-loss guided mode over a very broad spectral range of at least 458-1550 nm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endlessly single-mode photonic crystal fiber.
TL;DR: An effective-index model confirms that an all-silica optical fiber made by embedding a central core in a two-dimensional photonic crystal with a micrometer-spaced hexagonal array of air holes can be single mode for any wavelength.
