Photonic Band Gap Guidance in Optical Fibers
TL;DR: A fundamentally different type of optical waveguide structure is demonstrated, in which light is confined to the vicinity of a low-index region by a two-dimensional photonic band gap crystal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photonic Crystal Fibers: A New Class of Optical Waveguides
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel type of optical waveguide, operating truly by the photonic bandgap effect, has been demonstrated, which has an improved photonic crystal cladding and a central low-index structural defect along which light is guided.

Photonic Crystals: Molding the Flow of Light
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed the theoretical tools of photonics using principles of linear algebra and symmetry, emphasizing analogies with traditional solid-state physics and quantum theory, and investigated the unique phenomena that take place within photonic crystals at defect sites and surfaces, from one to three dimensions.

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.

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.

Existence of a Photonic Gap in Periodic Dielectric Structures
TL;DR: It is determined that dielectric spheres arranged in the diamond structure do possess a full photonic band gap, and this gap exists for refractive-index contrasts as low as 2.5%.
