Abstract: Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to the unique flexible structures that enable unprecedented advantages and superior performance compared with traditional optical fibers. In this paper, the concept, classification and principle of PCFs are introduced first. Then the development of PCFs in both academic and industrial fields is reviewed, and the theoretical analysis method, preparation process and related parameters and properties of PCFs are illustrated. Next, the PCFs made of different materials and diverse structures are characterized. Furthermore, the applications of PCFs in fiber lasers, fiber-optic sensing and communications, as well as our works in the fields are discussed. Finally, comprehensive insights into the overall situation, challenges and prospectives of PCFs are provided.
