Buying Photonic Crystal Fibers
Photonic crystal fibers (PCF) are microstructured fibers with tiny air holes along the fiber axis. Their designs enable remarkable guiding properties, such as endlessly single-mode fibers and fibers with anomalous dispersion. Active fibers, like double-clad fibers with air cladding, are also available for lasers and amplifiers.
