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).read more

Discrete Solitons in Optics
Falk Lederer,George I. Stegeman,Demetri N. Christodoulides,Gaetano Assanto,M. Segev,Yaron Silberberg +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of recent experimental and theoretical developments in the area of optical discrete solitons, which represent self-trapped wavepackets in nonlinear periodic structures and result from the interplay between lattice diffraction (or dispersion) and material nonlinearity.

Inverse design in nanophotonics
Sean Molesky,Zin Lin,Alexander Y. Piggott,Weiliang Jin,Jelena Vuckovic,Alejandro W. Rodriguez +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline a cross-section of key developments in this emerging field of photonic optimization: moving from a recap of foundational results to motivation of applications in nonlinear, topological, near-field and on-chip optics.

TL;DR: Two new classes of photonic crystal fiber facilitate ultrashort pulse delivery for fiber-optic two-photon fluorescence imaging and an upcoming generation of fluorescence Imaging devices will be based on microfabricated device components.

An optical lattice clock.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used atoms trapped in an optical lattice to serve as quantum references to the SI second transition of Cs atoms with a fractional uncertainty of 10−15.

Low-loss asymptotically single-mode propagation in large-core OmniGuide fibers.
Steven G. Johnson,Mihai Ibanescu,Maksim Skorobogatiy,Ori Weisberg,Torkel D. Engeness,Marin Soljacic,Steven A. Jacobs,John D. Joannopoulos,Yoel Fink +8 more
TL;DR: The light-propagation characteristics of OmniGuide fibers, which guide light by concentric multi-layer dielectric mirrors having the property of omnidirectional reflection, are presented, promising that the properties of silica fibers may be surpassed even when nominally poor materials are employed.

Nearly zero ultraflattened dispersion in photonic crystal fibers.
TL;DR: This procedure for achieving photonic crystal fibers with nearly zero ultraflattened group-velocity dispersion permits remarkably improved suppression of third-order dispersion, particularly in the low-dispersion domain.

Article comprising a micro-structured optical fiber, and method of making such fiber
TL;DR: In this paper, non-periodic microstructured optical fibers that guide radiation by index guiding are discussed. And a method of making micro-structured fiber is also disclosed, which potentially has many uses, e.g., as dispersion compensating fiber with or without dispersion slope compensation.
