Contemporary ultrafast science requires reliable sources of high-energy few-cycle light
pulses. Currently two methods are capable of generating such pulses: post compression of …

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

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 …

Countering the optical network 'capacity crunch'calls for a radical development in optical
fibres that could simultaneously minimize nonlinearity penalties, chromatic dispersion and …

Optical soliton dynamics can cause extreme alteration of the temporal and spectral shape of
a propagating light pulse. This occurs at up to kilowatt peak powers in glass-core optical …

Antiresonant hollow-core fibers (AR-HCFs) have opened up exciting possibilities for high-
energy and high-power laser delivery because of their exceptionally low nonlinearities and …

Recently two emerging areas of research, attosecond and nanoscale physics, have started
to come together. Attosecond physics deals with phenomena occurring when ultrashort laser …

Since their inception, about 20 years ago, hollow-core photonic crystal fiber and its gas-filled
form are now establishing themselves both as a platform in advancing our knowledge on …

In this paper, we numerically investigate various hollow-core anti-resonant (HC-AR) fibers
towards low propagation and bend loss with effectively single-mode operation in the …

This graduate-level textbook starts with Maxwell's equations. If the reader finds this
reasonable, this book should be helpful. Focusing on ultrafast solid-state laser oscillators …
