Gratings in Structured Optical Fibres

Figure 6

Blue luminescence propagating along the core of the 12-ring photonic crystal fibre is readily imaged. Also visible is the luminescence supported in the holes akin to whispering gallery modes of a hollow waveguide. The profile of the blue luminescence as a function of rotation angle is shown below [28ā€“31].
