Lasers and optical amplifiers based on solution-processable materials have been long-
desired devices for their compatibility with virtually any substrate, scalability, and ease 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 …

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 …

Surface plasmons are waves that propagate along the surface of a conductor. By altering the
structure of a metal's surface, the properties of surface plasmons—in particular their …

A new class of composite materials has emerged which provides a means to control and
manipulate light. These materials, known as photonic crystals, are periodic arrays of …

Nonlinear fiber optics concerns with the nonlinear optical phenomena occurring inside
optical fibers. Although the field ofnonlinear optics traces its beginning to 1961, when a ruby …

We made an all-silica optical fiber by embedding a central core in a two-dimensional
photonic crystal with a micrometer-spaced hexagonal array of air holes. An effective-index …

The rise in output power from rare-earth-doped fiber sources over the past decade, via the
use of cladding-pumped fiber architectures, has been dramatic, leading to a range of fiber …

The emerging field of nanophotonics addresses the critical challenge of manipulating light
on scales much smaller than the wavelength. However, very few feasible practical …
