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

The field of hybrid optical fibers is one of the most active research areas in current fiber
optics and has the vision of integrating sophisticated materials inside fibers, which are not …

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 …

Laser spectroscopy outperforms electrochemical and semiconductor gas sensors in
selectivity and environmental survivability. However, the performance of the state-of-the-art …

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 …

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 …

Mid-infrared (IR) lasers are currently an area of rapid development, with several competing
technologies. In traditional gas lasers, the effective interaction length is limited and the …

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 …

Due to their promising applications, hollow-core fibers, in particular, their anti-resonant
versions, have recently attracted the attention of the photonics community. Here, we …
