We report fabrication and characterization of hollow photonic-crystal fibers (PCFs) with a diamond-shaped core and a Kagome-lattice cladding. Air-guides modes strongly confined to the hollow core of the fiber are shown to exist within the ranges of wavelengths from 450 to 560 nm and from 470 to 630

✦ Synopsis
We demonstrate hollow-core photonic-crystal fibers
(PCFs) with a core diameter of 45 μm and a period of the
photonic-crystal cladding of 7 μm. These fibers are shown to
allow a waveguide delivery of 4-mJ 15-ns pulses of 1.06-μm
radiation of a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser. Hollow PCFs reported in
this work help to bridge the gap between standard, solid-cladding
hollow fibers and hollow PCFs in terms of effective guided-mode
areas, offering attractive solutions for high-field physics, laser
technologies, and ultrafast photonics.

## Abstract We demonstrate a highly birefringent photonic‐crystal fiber by utilizing combined asymmetric core design and intentional stress‐induced anisotropy. Based on spectral measurements of the polarization‐mode interference, we measure that the fiber has a beat length of about 0.33 mm at 1545
We report a NIR Raman spectroscopy system incorporating hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers (HC-PBFs) in both the excitation and collection paths. Raman excitation was achieved at NIR laser wavelength of 785 nm. We demonstrate that using HC-PBFs, Raman spectroscopy can be performed without the use o
## Abstract In this article, a hollow core photonic band gap fiber is numerically investigated to obtain low‐loss waveguiding in the terahertz region (0.1–10 THz) of the electromagnetic spectrum. Waveguide design in this spectral region is an arduous challenge due to the high‐conductivity losses of
## Abstract Hollow‐core photonic‐crystal fibers optimized for four‐wave mixing (FWM) and coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy were designed and fabricated. These fibers provide maximum transmission for a two‐color pump and the FWM signal, allowing FWM to be enhanced by a factor
