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

All-silica single-mode optical fiber with photonic crystal cladding

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.
