In this paper, the fundamentals of SSFS are reviewed. Various fiber platforms for SSFS (single-mode fiber, microstructured fiber, and higher order mode fiber) are presented and experimental SSFS demonstrations in these fibers are discussed. Observation of Cerenkov radiation in fibers exhibiting SSFS is also presented. A number of interesting applications of SSFS, such as wavelength-agile lasers, analog-to-digital conversion, and slow light, are briefly discussed.
