Optical fibers have transformed our lives. Not only do they act as the pipeline through which
information is transmitted around the globe, but they are also critical components in a …

▪ Abstract The development of microstructured optical fibers has led to the realization of
many optical properties in fiber form that were not previously attainable. This chapter …

Solitons are wave packets that can propagate without changing shape by balancing
nonlinear effects with the effects of dispersion. In photonics, they have underpinned …

Photonic innovation is becoming ever more important in the modern world. Optical systems
are dominating shorter and shorter communications distances, LED's are rapidly emerging …

We propose a novel silicon waveguide that exhibits four zero-dispersion wavelengths for the
first time, to the best of our knowledge, with a flattened dispersion over a 670-nm bandwidth …

We experimentally control the spectral structure of photon pairs created via spontaneous
four-wave mixing in microstructured fibers. By fabricating fibers with designed dispersion …

The development of optical fibers with suspended cores has enabled the demonstration of a
range of powerful new techniques for chemical and biological sensing. Here the fabrication …

We propose a silicon strip/slot hybrid waveguide that produces flattened dispersion of 0±16
ps/(nm∙ km), over a 553-nm wavelength range, which is 20 times flatter than previous results …

In this paper, a highly sensitive gas sensor based on the microstructure core and cladding
photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is presented over the wavelength range from 1.3 to 2.2 μm …

Flammable or poisonous gasses in the air are capable of destroying a geographical area of
causing a fire, fulmination, and venomous exposure. This paper presents a micro-cored …
