Title :
Photonic crystal fibers: putting new life into an old hat
Author_Institution :
Dept. of Phys., Univ. of Bath, UK
Abstract :
The development of artificially microstructured materials known as photonic crystals has resulted in new thinking in fiber optics. Photonic crystal fibers use the unusual properties of the new materials to deliver previously unattainable optical performance.
