Recent advances in hollow-core photonic crystal fibers: an update review

Newly developed hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) have increasingly aroused intense research interests because of its unique wave-guiding properties based on the photonic band gap effect. Such fibers have been considered to be very important in applications of high-power delivering and controlling, optical signal processing, and next-generation photonic devices. Recent advances in HC-PCFs are reviewed, including progresses in both fundamental characteristics of mode-guiding, loss mechanism, dispersion and nonlinearities, and applications in high-power fiber-optic delivering, controlling ultra-short optical pulses propagation with dispersion and nonlinear management, nonlinear interactions between light and matters, optical communications and novel photonic devices.
