Abstract :
A novel hollow-core PCF acetylene-cell fabrication technique based on helium- diffusion through silica is reported. The gas cell combines low insertion loss (1.8 dB) and low pressure (0.001 mbar). Electromagnetically induced transparency was used to determine the final acetylene-pressure.
