Photonic Crystal Fibres: A Holey Renaissance

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Light is trapped at structural defects in the “crystalline” array of microscopic air channels running along a photonic crystal fibre. The large air:glass refractive index difference—and the ability to control its distribution in two dimensions—permit greatly enhanced control of the guided modes. Applications are emerging in areas of laser science as diverse as frequency metrology, atom guiding and telecommunications.
