We describe the history, guiding mechanism, recent advances, applications, and future
prospects for hollow-core negative curvature fibers. We first review one-dimensional slab …

In this review, we introduce photonic crystal fibre as a novel optofluidic microdevice that can
be employed as both a versatile chemical sensor and a highly efficient microreactor. We …

We report on the fabrication of a seven-cell-core and three-ring-cladding large-pitch
Kagome-lattice hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF) with a hypocycloid-shaped core …

In this paper, we numerically investigate various hollow-core anti-resonant (HC-AR) fibers
towards low propagation and bend loss with effectively single-mode operation in the …

This article offers an extensive survey of results obtained using hybrid photonic-crystal fibers
(PCFs) which constitute one of the most active research fields in contemporary fiber optics …

Hollow core antiresonant fibers offer new possibilities in the near infrared and visible
spectral range. I show here that the great flexibility of this technology can allow the design …

An improved design for hollow antiresonant fibers (HAFs) is presented. It consists of adding
extra antiresonant glass elements within the air cladding region of an antiresonant hollow …

A gas pressure sensor based on an antiresonant reflecting guidance mechanism in a hollow-
core fiber (HCF) with an open microchannel is experimentally demonstrated for gas …

Fiber gas sensing techniques have been applied for a wide range of industrial applications.
In this paper, the basic fiber gas sensing principles and the development of different fibers …

Waveguiding mechanism and modal characteristics of hollow core fibers consisting of a
single or a regular arrangement of dielectric tubes are investigated. These fibers have been …
