Developing holey fibers for evanescent field devices

The overlap of the optical mode in a HF with the air holes is calculated for the first time. This is done using a vector modal decomposition approach. We show that a significant fraction of the modal power can be made to overlap with the holes, which suggests that these unusual fibres may be useful...
