Experimental investigation of hollow-core photonic crystal fibers with five photonic band-gaps

Abstract

The hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) with integrity structure have been fabricated with an improved twice stack-and-draw technique. The transmission spectrum shows that five photonic band-gaps within 450–1100 nm have been obtained. And the green light transmission in the HC-PCFs has been observed remarkably.
