Infrared (IR) fibers offer a versatile approach to guiding and manipulating light in the IR
spectrum, which is becoming increasingly more prominent in a variety of scientific …

Several classes of non-planar metallic and dielectric waveguides have been proposed in
the literature for guidance of terahertz (THz) or T-ray radiation. In this review, we focus on the …

Over the past few years, progress in hollow-core optical fiber technology has reduced the
attenuation of these fibers to levels comparable to those of all-solid silica-core single-mode …

We propose a novel hollow core fiber design based on nested and non-touching
antiresonant tube elements arranged around a central core. We demonstrate through …

A low-loss suspended core As38Se62 fiber with core diameter of 4.5 μ m and a zero-
dispersion wavelength of 3.5 μ m was used for mid-infrared supercontinuum generation. The …

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 …

Chalcogenide glasses have the advantages of a wide transparency window (over 20 μm)
and high optical nonlinearity (up to a thousand times greater than that of silica glasses) …

We report the fabrication of triangular lattices of parallel gold and silver nanowires of high
optical quality, with diameters down to 500 nm and length-to-diameter ratios as high as 100 …

We theoretically demonstrate a novel approach for generating Mid-InfraRed
SuperContinuum (MIR SC) by using concatenated fluoride and chalcogenide glass fibers …
