摘要：

In 1996 we reported the first example of a photonic crystal fibre (PCF), an entirely new class of optical fibre. Also known as holey or microstructure fibres, they incorporate air holes that run along the length of the fibre's cladding. The fibre is made from a stack of close-packed silica tubes and rods that is drawn into fibre using a conventional fibre drawing tower. We have demonstrated a wide variety of PCF designs and developed the conceptual tools needed to understand their properties and guide their design. These fibres can have highly unusual properties, and look set to rewrite the fibre-optics rulebook and revolutionise the future of optical telecommunication.
