We report on the first demonstration of photonic bandgap guidance in a hollow-core microstructured polymer optical fibre. The fibre resembles a ring-structured Bragg fibre and the guidance mechanism is through a photonic bandgap effect, which makes the incorporation of a hollow core possible. The hollow core allows the transmission loss to fall far below the material loss of the polymer for certain wavelengths and, in principle, allows polymer optical fibres to transmit at any wavelength, regardless of the material loss. This opens up their use to applications for which polymer is otherwise unsuitable, such as transmission in the infrared and high power transmission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
