Abstract:
Here we review on our results of photonic crystal fibres (PCFs) which have been filled with solid materials such as metals, semiconductors and low-melting temperature compound glasses. As filling method we used the high-temperature pressure cell technique. Depending on the material in the air-holes, we observed the excitation of spiralling plasmonic modes, Mie-resonances and coupled waveguide modes. The filling of the air-holes is thus a novel concept to manipulate the optical properties of PCFs in a desired way and to create novel in-fibre and waveguiding devices.
