This book is intended to provide expert guidance through the properties of photonic crystal fibers, with a specific focus on the telecommunication aspects. This

Deals not only with the properties of the radiation modes inside the crystals but also with their peculiar optical response to external fields. A general theory

A photonic crystal fiber (also called microstructure fiber, holey fiber, holeassisted fiber, or micro-structured optical fiber, etc.) is a single material optic

This book provides the theoretical background required for modelling photonic crystals and their optical properties, while presenting the large variety of devic
