  • Abstract
    An overview of various designs of large-mode-area photonic bandgap fibers (PBGFs) is presented in this paper. Bending properties of these structures are discussed and compared with those of step-index and air-silica microstructured fibers. Peculiarities of active PBGF fabrication are considered, and novel high-power laser architecture based on such fibers is described.
