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 …

The year 2009 marks the tenth anniversary of the first report of white-light supercontinuum
generation in photonic crystal fibre. This result had a tremendous impact on the field of …

We report the fabrication and characterization of a new type of hollow-core photonic crystal
fiber based on large-pitch (∼ 12 μ m) kagome lattice cladding. The optical characteristics of …

We review the optical guidance properties of hollow-core photonic crystal fibers. We follow a
historical perspective to introduce the two major optical guidance mechanisms that were …

The propagation of pulses through waveguides with sub-wavelength features,
inhomogeneous transverse structure, and high index contrast cannot be described …

We show that rubidium vapor can be produced within the core of a photonic band-gap fiber
yielding an optical depth in excess of 2000. Our technique for producing the vapor is based …

We review the progress made on the fabrication and applications of hollow-core photonic
crystal fibres (HC-PCFs). The mechanism of the light guidance in these fibres is described …

The difficulty of fusion splicing hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber (PBGF) to conventional
step index single mode fiber (SMF) has severely limited the implementation of PBGFs. To …
