Photonic crystal fibre, also known as microstructure fibre or holey fibre, normally consists of a regular pattern of air holes or doped materials inside pure silica background along the transverse direction. According to the mechanism of light guided in fibre, PCF is classified as TIR and PBG. Stacking and drawing technique are used for the preparation of our PCFs to realize special characteristics such as endless single mode, extremely large mode area, wave-guide in hollow core, high nonlinear effects and birefringence etc.

YOFC has developed a series of PCFs for all kinds of applications based on our synthetic material, PCVD process, stackingdrawing technique and theoretical simulation.
