  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. Light is trapped at structural defects in the crystalline array of microscopic air channels running along a photonic crystal fibre. The large air:glass refractive index difference - and the ability to control its distribution in two dimensions - permit greatly enhanced control of the guided modes. Applications are emerging in areas of laser science as diverse as frequency metrology, atom guiding and telecommunications.
