Emerging Prospects of Photonic Crystal Fibers

Abstract

Photonic crystal fibers are the periodic structures of air holes running along the fiber around a solid or hollow core. These present a diversity of new and improved features beyond what conventional optical fibers can offer. Due to their unique geometric structure, and superior control of guiding properties,PCFs present special properties and capabilities that lead to an spectacular potential for various applications. in optical communications and various other areas.This paper will review recent developmentsand discuss the emerging prospects in this field.
