The focus of this book lies at the meeting point of electromagnetic waveguides and photonic crystals. Although these are both widely studied topics, they have been kept apart until recently. The purpose of the first edition of this book was to give state-of-the-art theoretical and numerical viewpoints about exotic fibres which use “photonic crystal effects” and consequently exhibit someremarkable properties. Since that first edition, photonic crystal fibres havebecome an important and effective optical device. In this second edition, thedescription of the theoretical and numerical tools used to study these fibresis enhanced, whilst up-to-date information about the properties, applicationsand fabrication of these fibres is added. INDICE: Introduction; PCF Fabrication and Post-processing; Electromagnetism — Prerequisites; Finite Element Method; The Multipole Method; Rayleigh Method; À la Cauchy Path for Pole Finding; Main Properties of Microstructured Optical Fibres; Twisted Fibres; Conclusion.
