TLDR
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.Abstract:
The confinement of light within a hollow core (a large air hole) in a silica-air photonic crystal fiber is demonstrated Only certain wavelength bands are confined and guided down the fiber, each band corresponding to the presence of a full two-dimensional band gap in the photonic crystal cladding Single-mode vacuum waveguides have a multitude of potential applications from ultrahigh-power transmission to the guiding of cold atomsread more

Stability and collisions of gap solitons in a model of a hollow optical fiber
TL;DR: Numerical investigation reveals that the entire bandgap is filled with solitons, and they are stable in direct simulations, and the gap-soliton (GS) family includes stable pulses moving relative to the given reference frame up to limit values of the corresponding boost delta, beyond which they do not exist.

Low loss double cladding nested hollow core antiresonant fiber
TL;DR: In this paper, a double cladding nested antiresonant hollow core fiber is reported, which exhibits a loss of less than ∼ 0.1 dB/km over the O, E, S, C, L telecom bands, with the minimum loss of 0.001 dB/ km at 1.40 µm wavelength with a fiber core diameter of 33 µm.

Full 2-D photonic bandgaps in silica/air structures
