        abstract = {A major limitation to attaining low-loss single-mode guidance in hollow core photonic crystal fibre (PCF) is surface guided modes that are trapped in the core surround. This is particularly severe when high index (n > 2) glasses are used. By modelling a structure that has the characteristic features of a realistic fibre we show that, by tuning the thickness of the core wall, the influence of these 'surface' modes can be minimised. For a refractive index of 2.4 we predict power-in-air fractions of over 95% over a fractional bandwidth of similar to 5%, peaking at over 98%. The designs are appropriate for mid- to far-IR PCFs for which suitable glasses (e.g., tellurites and chalcogenides) have high refractive indices.},

It is found that a model roughness spectrum corresponding to frozen in capillary waves gives results in reasonably good agreement with experiments on small core fibers. In particular, the roughness scattering loss is shown to be only weakly dependent on wavelength. Agreement at a larger core size requires a long length-scale cut-off to be introduced to the roughness spectrum. Due to the long range nature of the roughness correlations, the scattering is non Rayleigh in character and cannot be interpreted in terms of a local photon density of states.},

The field intensity at the glass/air interfaces is shown to be reduced by a factor of approximately three compared to a fiber with more conventional core surround geometry. The reduced interface field intensity comes at the expense of an increased number of unwanted core interface modes within the band gap. When the interface field intensity is associated with modal propagation loss, the findings are in accord with recent measurements on fabricated fibers which incorporate a similar antiresonant feature.},

	abstract = {Continuous-wave and quasi-cw operation of tunable optical parametric generation has been demonstrated in a photonic-crystal fiber. The frequency shift of the generated sidebands, which arise from modulation instability, depends strongly on the detuning of the pump from the fiber's zero-dispersion wavelength. Over 30 nm of sideband tunability has been demonstrated using a 300 mW cw pump, and over 185 nm of tunability using a 1.6 W quasi-cw pump. Continuous wave and quasi-cw pumps eliminate the detrimental effects of pump-sideband walk-off. In the absence of walk-off it is the fluctuations in the index profile of the photonic-crystal fiber along its length that limit the tunable sideband range.},
