Title

In the Brightness Bind them: Light and Matter in Photonic Crystal Fibres

Abstract

Microstructured photonic crystal fibres permit ultra-low-loss guidance of light both in solid glass and in air. The resulting improved control over light-matter interactions is permitting studies of, for example, intense nonlinear phonon-photon interactions, efficient generation of broad-band supercontinuum light, precisely controlled propulsion and guidance of small particles, plasmonic effects in metallic nanowire arrays, and massively enhanced nonlinear gas-laser interactions.
