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

Attenuation limit of silica-based hollow-core fiber at mid-IR wavelengths
TL;DR: In this article, the role of absorptive losses increases with wavelength but can be minimized by reducing the overlap of the trapped light with the silica, which corresponds to a modal overlap of 2.81 × 10−5 which is in good agreement with simulations.

High-power soliton-induced supercontinuum generation and tunable sub-10-fs VUV pulses from kagome-lattice HC-PCFs
TL;DR: A novel approach for soliton-induced high-power supercontinuum generation by using kagome lattice HC-PCFs filled with a noble gas, with high coherence and high spectral peak power densities up to five orders of magnitude larger than in standard PCFs.

Numerical analyses of splice losses of photonic crystal fibers
TL;DR: In this article, the rotational losses between a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) and a single mode fiber (SMF) were numerically investigated by using finite element method (FEM) with the circular perfectly matched layer (PML).

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

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.

Full 2-D photonic bandgaps in silica/air structures
