What Does PCF Stand For?
PCF stands for Photonic Crystal Fiber
Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) is a type of optical fiber that utilizes a microstructured arrangement of air holes running along its length, allowing for unique light propagation characteristics. This innovative design enables the manipulation of light in ways that traditional fibers cannot achieve, including the ability to support a wide range of wavelengths, enhance non-linear optical effects, and achieve low loss transmission. PCFs are used in various applications, including telecommunications, sensing, and medical instrumentation, due to their exceptional performance and versatility.
