Abstract: Photonic crystal fibers guide light by corralling it within a periodic array of microscopic air holes that run along the entire fiber length Largely through their ability to overcome the limitations of conventional fiber optics—for example, by permitting low-loss guidance of light in a hollow core—these fibers are proving to have a multitude of important technological and scientific applications spanning many disciplines The result has been a renaissance of interest in optical fibers and their uses

Experimental realisation of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric flat bands
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors experimentally demonstrate that judiciously tailored loss distributions can in fact be the key ingredient in synthesizing such flat bands in non-Hermitian environments, and probe their emergence in the vicinity of an exceptional point and directly observe the associated compact localised modes that can be excited at arbitrary positions of the periodic lattice.

TL;DR: In this article, an index-guiding all-solid photonic crystal fiber (PCF) composed entirely of silica material is proposed, where the core of this optical fiber is composed of pure silica, and the cladding consists of doped silica rod in the background of pure silicon.

Absorption detection of cobalt(II) ions in an index-guiding microstructured optical fiber
TL;DR: In this paper, the absorption detection of cobalt(II) ions (Co2+) in aqueous solutions which is filled into the air-holes of a pure-silica microstructured optical fiber (MOF) is numerically investigated with respect to the change of refractive index, wavelength as well as the microstructure pattern.

Nonlinear Fiber Optics
Govind P. Agrawal
- 01 Jan 1989
TL;DR: The field of nonlinear fiber optics has advanced enough that a whole book was devoted to it as discussed by the authors, which has been translated into Chinese, Japanese, and Russian languages, attesting to the worldwide activity in the field.
Acceleration and trapping of particles by radiation pressure
TL;DR: In this paper, it is hypothesized that similar acceleration and trapping are possible with atoms and molecules using laser light tuned to specific optical transitions, and the implications for isotope separation and other applications of physical interest are discussed.

Thomas Brabec,Ferenc Krausz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the landmarks of the 30-odd-year evolution of ultrashort-pulse laser physics and technology culminating in the generation of intense few-cycle light pulses and discuss the impact of these pulses on high-field physics.

Optical frequency metrology
TL;DR: The ability to count optical oscillations of more than 1015 cycles per second facilitates high-precision optical spectroscopy, and has led to the construction of an all-optical atomic clock that is expected eventually to outperform today's state-of-the-art caesium clocks.
