AB - This chapter discusses the properties, applications, and manufacture of hollow-core fibers. Hollow-core fibers guide light by means of a reflective cladding. Because the index of refraction of the hollow core is smaller than that of the cladding materials, the guiding mechanism cannot be based on total internal reflection, as is the case for traditional optical fibers. Instead, three major types of reflective cladding are used-a metal tube with optional dielectric coating, a multilayer dielectric Bragg mirror, or a two-dimensional photonic crystal. The simplest method for guiding light in a hollow core is by enclosing the core with a highly reflective metal. The metal acts as a mirror, so that fields from the core incident on the metal are reflected back into the core, providing the confinement mechanism. When the interior of the waveguide consists of a single homogeneous dielectric material, the mode fields can be separated into two polarizations-transverse electric and transverse magnetic with vanishing axial components of the electric and magnetic fields, respectively. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.
