Photonic Crystal Fibres describes the fundamental properties of the
optical waveguides known under the terms of photonic crystal
fibres, microstructured fibres, or holey fibres. It outlines how
the fibres are designed and fabricated, and how they are treated
from a theoretical and numerical point of view. The book presents a
detailed description of the different classes of photonic crystal
and photonic bandgap fibres, and it broadens out a spectrum of
novel applications and new fibre types.
Optical fibres have for almost three decades been fabricated from
solid glass. It was, therefore, a radical change that took place,
when researchers in the late 90s started to fabricate hair-thin
optical fibres with numerous microscopic air holes running along
the length of the fibres. These microstructured fibres did not only
mark the introduction of tailored materials with unique spectral
properties in fibre optics, but it also opened the perspective of
the applicability of photonic bandgap materials at optical
wavelengths. In this respect, a completely new guiding mechanism
was demonstrated, and a revolution in fibre optics had started.
Photonic Crystal Fibres describes the fundamental properties of
these new optical waveguides, outlines how they are fabricated, and
how they are treated from a theoretical and numerical point of
view. A detailed description of the different classes of photonic
crystal fibres is given, and a spectrum of different applications
and new fibre types are presented. Photonic Crystal Fibres
