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

TL;DR: The performance of Hollow Core Fibers has improved dramatically over the last 6 years and the most successful design, Nested Antiresonant Nodeless Fiber, with losses of 0.28 dB/km is reported.
Photonic Crystal Fibres for Dispersion and Sensor Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF) is used as a sensor for gas, and the transmission spectra are subject to a discussion.

Essentials of resonance-enhanced soliton-based supercontinuum generation.
TL;DR: The nonlinear dynamics of soliton-based supercontinuum generation in case the waveguide includes a strongly dispersive resonance is revealed, resulting in large spectral bandwidth at low soliton numbers, yielding broadband spectra within the coherence limit.

Photonic crystal fibers: putting new life into an old hat
TL;DR: In this article, the development of artificially microstructured materials known as photonic crystals has resulted in new thinking in fiber optics, and they use the unusual properties of the new materials to deliver previously unattainable optical performance.

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.

Hollow metallic and dielectric waveguides for long distance optical transmission and lasers
TL;DR: In this paper, the field configurations and propagation constants of a hollow circular waveguide made of dielectric material or metal for application as an optical waveguide were determined and the increase of attenuation due to curvature of the axis was also determined.

Full 2-D photonic bandgaps in silica/air structures
TL;DR: In this paper, full 2D photonic bandgaps are demonstrated for all polarisations in structures with refractive index contrast as small as that of silica and air, and a new type of optical fiber based on these structures is proposed.
