The detection and measurement of gas concentrations using the characteristic optical
absorption of the gas species is important for both understanding and monitoring a variety of …

Photonic crystal fibers guide light by corralling it within a periodic array of microscopic air
holes that run along the entire fiber length. Largely through their ability to overcome the …

This paper reports a novel approach for the efficient detection of blood and skin cancerous
cells using PCF-based sensor. The proposed sensor contains an asymmetrical arrangement …

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 …

We describe a silica hollow-core fiber for mid-infrared transmission with a minimum
attenuation of 34 dB/km at 3050 nm wavelength. The design is based on the use of a …

We present a numerical and experimental demonstration of a waveguide regime in a broad
band spectral range for the hollow core microstructured optical fibers (HC MOFs) made of …

The ability to selectively redirect specific wavelengths of light has attracted a lot attention for
photonic crystal materials. Presently, there is a wealth of research relating to the fabrication …

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 …

Since the early conceptual and practical demonstrations in the late 1990s, Hollow-Core
Photonic Band Gap Fibres (HC-PBGFs) have attracted huge interest by virtue of their …
