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

Temporal localized structures in photonic crystal fibre resonators and their spontaneous symmetry-breaking instability.
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of temporal localized structures (TLSs) in an all photonic crystal fiber resonator is investigated analytically and numerically, where the number of peaks and their temporal distribution are determined solely by the initial conditions.

TL;DR: Detailed measurements of the Brillouin frequency shift, gain bandwidth, and gain coefficients of several small-core holey optical fibers of both uniform and axially varying structural characteristics show that the BFS of HFs is first-order proportional to the modal index for light propagating along the fiber and is thus extremely sensitive to its precise structural parameters.

Mode-field expansion in photonic crystal fibers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed two novel methods to make mode-field expanders using photonic crystal fibers (PCFs), by heating and collapsing the center rings of airholes around the core using the selective airhole collapse technique.

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.

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.
