TLDR
In this paper, the optical properties of a photonic crystal fiber including a plurality of longitudinal holes are altered by virtue of the change in cross-sectional area of holes in that region.
Abstract
A photonic crystal fibre including a plurality of longitudinal holes (220), in which at least some of the holes have a different cross-sectional area in a first region (200) of the fibre, that region having been heat-treated after fabrication of the fibre, from their cross-sectional area in a second region of the fibre (190), wherein the optical properties of the fibre in the heat-treated region (200) are altered by virture of the change in cross-sectional area of holes (230) in that region (200).

Hollow core optical fiber and a laser system

TL;DR: In this paper, a hollow core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) comprising an outer cladding region and 7 hollow tubes surrounded by the outer claddings is described, where the hollow tubes are not touching each other, but are arranged with distance to adjacent hollow tubes.

Gold-loaded microspheres via carbosilane-thioether dendrimers as stabilizers and their performance in layer-controllable photonic crystals.

TL;DR: This work successfully synthesized Au NP decorated poly(styrene-co-(generation 3 carbosilane-thioether vinyl-terminated dendrimer)) (P(st-co-G3Vi)) microspheres via in situ reduction of Au ions based on the strong coordination between the Au ions and the sulfur atom in G3Vi dendedrimers, resulting in an enhancement of quantum dot fluorescence.

Solitons evolving toward few-and single-cycle pulses in photonic-crystal fibers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived simple analytical expressions relating the pulse width and the energy of ultrashort pulses generated through such a field-evolution dynamics to the fiber dispersion and nonlinearity.

Photonic-crystal fiber sources for nonlinear spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, photonic-crystal fibers provide efficient nonlinear-optical transformations of femtosecond Cr:forsterite laser pulses, delivering linearly chirped frequency-shifted broadband light pulses with central wavelengths ranging from 400 to 900 nm.

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.

Visible continuum generation in air–silica microstructure optical fibers with anomalous dispersion at 800 nm

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate experimentally that air-silica microstructure optical fibers can exhibit anomalous dispersion at visible wavelengths, and exploit this feature to generate an optical continuum 550 THz in width, extending from the violet to the infrared.

Single-Mode Photonic Band Gap Guidance of Light in Air.

TL;DR: The confinement of light within a hollow core (a large air hole) in a silica-air photonic crystal fiber is demonstrated and certain wavelength bands are confined and guided down the fiber.
