The first optical fiber with an array of air cylinders running along its axis was fabricated by Knight et al. in 1996. It has been a new era for fiber optics ever since. Such fibers can be broadly referred to as microstructured optical fibers (MOFs). Many properties of such fiber, such as dispersion...
