Photonic crystal fibers exhibit physical features, from various angles, more versatile, intriguing and promising than those pertaining to the conventional optical fibers. Their cross-section can be optimized to obtain single mode operation on a wide wavelenght range, soliton propagation, regeneration application, controllable group velocity dispersion. Moreover their core can be rare-earth doped so obtaining high-performance optical amplifiers and lasers or active components for optical communication systems.

Abstract
Photonic crystal fibers exhibit physical features, from various angles, more versatile, intriguing and promising than those pertaining to the conventional optical fibers. Their cross-section can be optimized to obtain single mode operation on a wide wavelenght range, soliton propagation, regeneration application, controllable group velocity dispersion. Moreover their core can be rare-earth doped so obtaining high-performance optical amplifiers and lasers or active components for optical communication systems. A few, non exhaustive, examples illustrating the state of the art of photonic crystal fibers are here reportedI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
