“…14(e)). Accordingly with LPG in IG-PCFs (Morishita & Miyake, 2004;Petrovic, 2008) and in disagreement with LPG in SMFs , the LPGs written in the HC-PCFs have negative relationship between resonant wavelength and grating pitch. Recently, the authors of the present work have investigated the possibility to use a modified Electric Arc Discharge (EAD) technique (such as a pressure assisted EAD technique) to fabricate LPGs in HC-PCFs (Iadicicco et al, 2011a(Iadicicco et al, , 2011b.…”
