Nonlinear and acoustic properties of holey optical fibres
The 'holey fibre' (HF) is a new class of optical fibre which has a cladding formed by a number of air holes which run along the length of the fibre. Typical HFs are shown in Figures 1 and 2. These fibres can be made from a single material, and guidance is provided by the difference in effective indices between the core and the 'holey' cladding. The microstructured transverse profile opens up a diverse range of novel optical properties, many of which are not possible in more conventional fibre structures. For example, HFs can have anomalous waveguide dispersion at visible wavelengths and be single-mode, which is impossible in conventional fibers.

Abstract

The 'holey fibre' (HF) is a new class of optical fibre which has a cladding formed by a number of air holes which run along the length of the fibre. Typical HFs are shown in Figures 1 and 2. These fibres can be made from a single material, and guidance is provided by the difference in effective indices between the core and the 'holey' cladding. The microstructured transverse profile opens up a diverse range of novel optical properties, many of which are not possible in more conventional fibre structures. For example, HFs can have anomalous waveguide dispersion at visible wavelengths and be single-mode, which is impossible in conventional fibers.
