Abstract
Summary form only given. Photonic crystal fibre (PCF) consists of a thread of glass with an array of microscopic air holes running along its length. The first working example-"endlessly single-mode" fibre-was reported at OFC in 1996. Since then, there has been a series of break-throughs that is leading to a radical enhancement in the possibilities of optical fibres. The disruptive implications of the new technology are just beginning to be worked out. The tutorial will cover the history, physics and applications of PCF.
