Photonic crystal fibres for sensor applications

Photonic crystal fibres (PCF) offer extraordinary control over their waveguiding properties via the geometry of their microstructure. We shall describe the design principles for PCF, their practical fabrication and their potential and actual applications in sensor systems.
