A method for modeling the fabrication of small-scale hollow glass capillaries is developed. The model is based on an asymptotic analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations, which yields a simple closed-form solution for this problem. We demonstrate the validity of this approach using experimental data and use it to make predictions for a range of regimes of interest for the development of microstructured optical fiber technology.read more

Wavelength-scalable hollow optical fibres with large photonic bandgaps for CO 2 laser transmission
TL;DR: The design and drawing of a hollow optical fibre lined with an interior omnidirectional dielectric mirror is reported, demonstrating that low attenuation can be achieved through structural design rather than high-transparency material selection.

TL;DR: In this paper, a photonic crystal fiber including a core extending along a waveguide axis and a dielectric confinement region surrounding the core is used to guide the radiation along the waveguide from an input end to an output end.

TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology suitable for the fabrication of a wide range of microstructured polymer optical fibres (mPOFs) is presented, where light guidance is achieved through the incorporation of a pattern of air channels that run the entire length of the fibre.

TL;DR: In this paper, a wide range of different optical functionalities can now be obtained by modifications of the microstructure, as demonstrated by the fibres presented in this paper, such as singlemode, highly birefringent or show twin-core coupling.

Overview of novel integrated optical ring resonator bio/chemical sensors
TL;DR: The liquid core optical ring resonator (LCORR) as mentioned in this paper employs a micro-sized glass capillary with a wall thickness of a few microns, and the circular cross-section of the capillary forms a ring resonant section that supports the whispering gallery modes (WGMs).

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.

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.
