Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCFs) are characterized by the pattern arrangement of micrometer-size air-holes along the length of the fiber. This micro-structured waveguide is capable of guiding light by a modified form of total internal reflection (TIR) and by photonic bandgap (PBG) effect. The existenc...
