✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A review of optical fiber sensing demonstrations based on photonic crystal fibers is presented. The text is organized in five main sections: the first three deal with sensing approaches relying on fiber Bragg gratings, long‐period gratings and interferometric structures; the fourth one reports applications of these fibers for gas and liquid sensing; finally, the last section focuses on the exploitation of nonlinear effects in photonic crystal fibers for sensing.

The operation of an all-fiber polarimetric electric field sensor based on nematic liquid crystal infiltrated photonic crystal fiber is demonstrated. A section less than 1 mm long of a selectively infiltrated polarization maintaining photonic crystal fiber is used as the probe. The transmission prope
Remarkable properties of optical fibers with a high-index core region and a surrounding silicarair photonic crystal cladding have recently been reported. Here we discuss the physics, the special guiding properties, and the theoretical tools developed for the modeling of these photonic crystal fibers
## 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
## Abstract Based on the modified dual core structure, three kinds of special photonic crystal fibers are presented, which are extremely large negative dispersion, super‐broad band, and large area mode field dispersion‐compensating photonic crystal fibers (DCPCF). For extremely large negative dispe
