The Featherz (formerly The Feathers) are a Welsh/English band with glam and punk influences (self-styled as "Flock Rock") led by Danie Cox (born 15 December 1990 in Bridgend) on lead vocals and guitar. Cox formed the band with two fellow former members of Georgie Girl And Her Poussez Posse, a band fronted by Georgina Baillie and mentored by Adam Ant. After leaving Baillie and Ant to form their own group, they received press coverage in the Ipswich Star,[1] Wales On Sunday,[2] Basingstoke Gazette[3] and rock magazine Vive Le Rock who included their track RNR★ on the free CD with the January/February 2014 edition (issue 16).[4] They also completed a UK national tour supporting Boy George, in three of whose videos Cox has appeared.[2]
Since May 2014, Cox is the last remaining founder member. The band now features drummer Dazzle Monroe (formerly of Extreme Noise Terror), bassist Alice Atkinson and second guitarist Chris Shepherd.
2011-2014 - Formation[edit]
Cox arrived in London in October 2010 to pursue a career as a professional musician. In January 2011, she was recruited to Georgie Girl And Her Poussez Posse as guitarist and backing vocalist. The band also included Baillie, Molly Spiers-MacLeod (the daughter of Spizz) on bass and backing vocals, drummer Rachael Smith and second guitarist Fiona Bevan. This lineup supported Ant on several tour dates in spring 2011 and recorded tracks for a planned album. Footage from early 2011 of a Poussez Posse band meeting at Ant's home is included in The Blueblack Hussar, a documentary about Ant directed by Jack Bond. Unhappy with the general direction of the band and Ant's style of mentoring, Cox, Spiers-MacLeod and Smith all left the group (to be replaced by a new lineup, still fronted by Baillie, which continued to support Ant on tour until the end of 2012.) The trio formed their own band The Feathers, making their debut guerilla gig appearance at the Occupy London camp outside St Paul's Cathedral on 23 October 2011.[2]
The band's track "Life Stranger" reached the quarter finals of the YouBloom online talent contest and was released on the compilation Hipsters 3.[5] Cox and Spiers-MacLeod also performed an acoustic set on Garry Bushell's Rancid Sounds radio show on TotalRock in April 2012.[6] Two years later in April 2014, they performed a second acoustic set for Bushell's show - by now transferred to online literary community Litopia's podcast section.[7] At around the time of the first session, Smith left the group to be replaced by Alex Gold, also of The Boys. Gold in turn would be replaced by Monroe in January 2013.
In April 2013, Cox befriended Boy George after they met at the launch party of an exhibition of stage costumes of their mutual hero David Bowie at the Victoria and Albert Museum at which George was a guest speaker. Impressed with the appearance and demeanour of the glammed-up Cox, George invited her to show herself on stage.[8] Subsequently, Cox appeared in three videos for singles by George: "I'm Coming Home" (also featuring a cameo by Monroe), "King of Everything" and "My God" directed by Dean Stockings. The band also supported George on his November 2013 solo UK tour to promote his album This Is What I Do.[1][2][4]
In spring 2013, the band undertook a photo session for fashion designer Mark Charles and his Charles of London fashion label. Since then, all band members have regularly worn Charles' designs as stagewear.[2] Charles also released the band's debut single "RNR★" on his Charles Of London Records label. The A-side was later included on the compilation CD Teenage Rampage, cover-mounted on issue 16 of Vive Le Rock magazine. The magazine's track guide described Cox as a "rising star" and the band as "injected with glam rock attitude" which "will give you glitter-covered goose bumps and get your feet stomping."[4] The single has also received airplay on BBC Radio Wales[9] and Radio Caroline.
The Ipswich Star gave a headline preview to the band's 25 January 2014 gig at the Steamboat Tavern in Monroe's native Ipswich, alongside a photo of the band, noting how "The London trio, fresh from suporting (sic) Boy George on his recent UK tour, led by Danie Cox, are getting rave reviews for their brand of punk-pop."[1] Wales On Sunday extensively interviewed Cox in the 9 February 2014 edition about the band, their associations with Ant, Baillie, George and Charles, and her life in general. Commenting on Cox and her band, the newspaper noted "With her electrifying red hair, extravagant make-up and outrageous dress sense, 23-year-old Danie Cox and her band The Featherz look every inch pop stars."[2]
2014 onwards - Alice Atkinson joins[edit]
Spiers-MacLeod left the band in May 2014 and Atkinson was announced as replacement bass player in early June. She made her debut on 28 June 2014 at the 100 Club alongside new second guitarist Lily Marlene (the stepdaughter of Bond and credited on The Blueblack Hussar as Assistant to the Director[10]). The gig also marked Cox's return to the stage following a severe knee injury days after Spiers McLeod's departure.[11] Due to Marlene's commitments outside the band, she left amicably and an ongoing vacancy for second guitarist existed for 14 months until Daniel Jones' spell with the band.
In the meantime Cox, Atkinson and Monroe continued to gig in the three-piece format, occasionally joined by various guest guitarists, including veteran Norwich musician David Donley, his student Zoe Keeling, Vera Wild of the band Jelly and Polly Hedges of the band Seek Destroy. In late 2014, they recorded fresh material at Broadoak Studios, Sussex with producer/guitarist Kevin Armstrong. Their 14 February 2015 headline gig at the Irish Centre in Basingstoke received praise from the Basingstoke Gazette "The headline band were The Featherz ... who continued the general theme of girls showing just how well they can rock it up ... Not quite as heavy as (second on the bill act) Petrol Girls, they still had a real fast punky set. They had also picked up a posse of new followers who were now ready to worship every bead and every bit of glitter - as well as dance along to their songs." [3]
The band also played the Pavillion Stage of the 2015 Rebellion Festival.[12][13] Their set received an enthusiastic review from Martin Haslam of Louder Than War: "Bringing their brand of self-styled 'Flock Rock' to the masses, I'm pleased that the venue is filling up. Glam anthems (Glamthems?) get the crowd onside, 'When Was The Last Time You Had Sex?' and other ear worms. I've seen them before, but this line up has added Alice Atkinson, which is a very good thing; the three-piece with Danie Cox and Dazzle Monroe are now tighter and born to entertain. Championed by Boy George and dressed by Charles Of London, they deserve your attention. Now!"[13]
A second single for Charles Of London Records, You, was released from the sessions with Armstrong on download in early September 2015 followed by a CD release two months later. A video was filmed back in April 2015 in Brighton, directed by Stockings. Interviewed by Haslam at Rebellion for Louder Than War, Cox confirmed that the band's next release will be their debut album. Cox also commented on her philosophy as a performer and bandleader: "I'd always had a dream, to write my own songs, to express myself through my clothes and how I present myself. Luckily, I found that in The Featherz, in London ... We are The Featherz, there is nothing else for me. I'd rather die than give up. Our songs are statements. It really is all I can do"[14]
Around the time of the single's download release, the second guitarist role was briefly filled when Jones joined. He left amicably three months later due to musical differences, shortly before the band played three high profile support slots in Sheffield, Liverpool and London, for The Damned. Following the death of her hero David Bowie in January 2016, Cox was filmed by Italian television show Studio Aperto performing Bowie's songs at his shrine at the Heddon Street telephone box[15] while the Featherz performed at a Bowie memorial concert at the Union Chapel, Islington with Mick Ronson's sister Maggi guesting with the band on vocals for Ziggy Stardust[16] A new second guitarist, Chris Shepherd, joined the band in April.

I don't agree with the new program that the school has brought in. If a person is caught with alcohol on campus (it is a dry campus) they go through a "alcohol education" course. It is unnecessary and not practical. It also will do no good. There is no way to truly enforce the rule of no alcohol on campus completely. There will always be parties to go to and there will always be ways around the system.

Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History of Metal (Hardcover)
Email or call for price
Special Order
The definitive oral history of heavy metal, LouderThan Hellby renowned music journalists Jon Wiederhorn and Katherine Turman includeshundreds of interviews with the giants of the movement, conducted over the past 25 years.
Unlike many forms of popular music, metalheads tend to embrace their favorite bands and follow them over decades. Metal is not only a pastime for the true aficionados; it's a lifestyle and obsession that permeates every aspect of their being. Louder Than Hell is an examination of that cultural phenomenon and the much-maligned genre of music that has stood the test of time.
Louder than Hell features more than 250 interviews with some of the biggest bands in metal, including Black Sabbath, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Spinal Tap, Pantera, White Zombie, Slipknot, and Twisted Sister; insights from industry insiders, family members, friends, scenesters, groupies, and journalists; and 48 pages of full-color photographs.

He is a senior writer for Revolver magazine and regularly writes for major publications, including Guitar World, emusic.com, and SPIN. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

We have been camping here for 10+ years and had not been in several years. The campground is in good shape despite all the budget cuts. There are no towels in the bathrooms, and the bathrooms were mostly clean with Super thin TP! There was 1 host in the lower loop and none in the upper. We spoke to the woman at the main gate and confirmed that this campground is not for large groups. The sites are well spaced apart and most are deep enough for a medium RV to fit. A few of the sites are litterally in someones back yard and others are next to a road. You have to drive to the beach or make a considerable hike. There is an RV dumpstation and they used to have a campfire center where the rangers had kids programs, didn't confirm if that was still around. The price is now 35 a night. My biggest complaint is inconsiderate campers running their generators at all hours.

A really lovely production--the set and costume design left us breathless--with a lead actress who was show-stoppingly fantastic (as was the actress playing her best friend). Would definitely recommend! (The lyrics could be stronger, but the score was beautiful, too.)

Jennifer Ellis, Aimee Doherty, Jared Troilo were all exceptional. Seats were excellent.

The story is very good, but what makes this such good theater is the cast - across the board extremely well chosen for each part. The principal actress who plays Cathy, she is perfectly cast - her performance alone is worth the price of admission.

Story and performance quite good, music not memorable

From the opening strumming of "Christine's Tune (Devil in Disguise)", there was this odd blend of country, folk, and fuzzed out psychedelia (Sneaky Pete's steel guitar) that immediately grabbed me and has never let go. Then there were the vocals. Along with the wonderful sense of harmony that Chris Hillman possessed, Gram Parsons was able to blend blues, folk, country, gospel, and rock in one voice- and do them all convincingly. His charisma was obvious. His love for the music undoubted. He was the focal point for much of what would become the LA country sound- Linda Ronstadt, Eagles, Emmylou Harris. They all emulated him, but could never reach his level of talent.
The songs on the lp are all top rate, in my view. The melancholy of "Sin City," the rockabilly of "Christine's Tune," the tongue in cheek anti-war bluegrass/folk tune "My Uncle," "Wheels," their tribute to motorcycles, the up-tempo "Hot Burrito #2," the satire of "Hippie Boy," complete with gospel ending. All genres of music from folk to country/rock are well represented here, with the Burritos more than able to handle of them competenetly.
The results are glorious!Read more ›
From the compellingly catchy opener "Christine's Tune" any listener who dared to put on this bargain bin record album the year it was released, or for many years after, was hooked and stunned by the richness, gentle thoughtfulness, and amazing tunes within. The epic "Sin City" momentarily stunning for its incredibly authentic Nashville sound, is the most startling song ever written about Los Angeles, its promise and materialism.
"Do Right Woman" by Dan Penn and Chips Moman illustrates the tender romantic in Gram Parsons, providing one of the most tuneful tracks and a classic. "Dark End Of The Street" by Spooner Oldham and Dan Penn, is straightforwardly presented, yet results in universal and heartbreaking exposure and one of this albums most powerful tracks. "My Uncle" apparently the weakest track being dated to the Viet Nam War era, ironically may now be more relevant today with the war in Iraq; nonetheless it is superbly tuneful. "Wheels" is a moderately paced Rocker, a stirring anthem of the road, echoing American individuality, but also reminding the listener of the price one pays for freedom. The interplay of guitar, bass and mandolin here is awe inspiring.Read more ›

UN magazine features stories of families finding their way out of poverty
Salman Saeed/UNDP Bangladesh
Early this year United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) administrator Helen Clark launched the second edition of the Development Advocate, a magazine featuring 12 award winning stories about poverty reduction efforts in countries around the world.
"As in last year's issue, these stories highlight UNDP's critical work on poverty reduction, democratic governance, crisis prevention and recovery, and the environment and sustainable development," said UNDP head Helen Clark in a letter to readers. "They remind us that people are and always will be the centre of UNDP's work."
The UNDP received more than 120 story entries from 66 countries around the world. Winning stories include a story from Brazil about eco-friendly stoves that empower indigenous women and a story from China about sustainable farming practices.
Perhaps one of the most touching stories is of a woman in Bangladesh who pulled her family out of poverty with a $30 loan. The 43-year-old woman's name is Shyamola Begum from the city of Dhaka. When her husband abandoned her and their two children, Shyamola struggled to make ends meet.
Begum's situation is not uncommon for women in her country. "Every year, tens of thousands of women are left by their husbands who have given up hope in the face of poverty and lack of employment opportunities," according to a Borgen Project Report.
Recently she received a $30 grant from the urban partnerships of poverty recovery fund. With that money she opened a small tea stand. According to the story, in just a few months, she has more than doubled her investment. She is successfully running a business and supporting her family.
Most encouragingly, her story is not atypical. "Over 55,000 families like Shyamola's have received such grants over the past five years, with encouraging results. In many places, these men and women have started making monthly contributions to their own local savings groups, so that there is a source of a larger loan in cases of emergency," according to the UNDP report.

Heidi Klum in Paige Premium
Heidi Klum and her husband Seal continued their Spanish holiday with their children on the beach. Heidi kept an eye on the family as well as taking photos with her cell phone.
I was excited when I saw these shorts on her! They are a pair of Paige Premium Silverlake shorts in white and I think she looks fantastic in them! I love white denim shorts, there is something about them that just shouts summer and relaxation! Buy Paige shorts online at PaigeUSA.com.

Heidi Klum in J Brand
Heidi Klum showed off her long legs in a pair of J Brand 901 Leggings in Vox as she was seen out and about in New York City last week. I think Heidi looks amazing here! I love the fit of the jeans paired with her black heels and the knit style top. It's the perfect combination.
I actually thought these jeans would look more cropped on Heidi, she has really long legs so I thought they would hit a lot higher above her ankle, but they don't. The Vox wash is gorgeous, it's such a deep blue but it's got a richness to it which makes it beautiful. What do you think of Heidi's look? Buy J Brand jeans at Singer22.com.

Kristin Cavallari in Siwy
Kristin Cavallari indulges in a little retail therapy at Planet Blue in LA. She looked to be all smiles as she smiled for the cameras while leaving the boutique. Kristin has been hounded with paparazzi after news of her and Jay Cutler breaking off their engagement surfaced. I'd hate to have everyone know that you just broke up with someone and be trying to take your picture!
Luckily, Kristin looks fabulous in a her Siwy Camilla cut-off shorts and a simple black tank. She always looks great when she wears these shorts but Heidi Klum won our Who Wore It Best poll by a landslide! You can buy Siwy online at Blueheavenboutique.com.
Heidi Klum in Siwy
Heidi Klum is really taking advantage of her summer in New York. She has been spotted in some shorts quite a few times. This time she chose her Siwy Camilla Shorts in Desert Rose again. I really love the look of shorts with a loose tee. Especially when the tee is just skimming above the shorts, like how it fits Heidi.
I just love the color scheme of this outfit. The taupe-ish/gray colored tee just goes so well with the pink of the shorts and the brown of the belt and sandals. Heidi makes me think of Elle Macpherson in this look. Funny enough being that they both have the title of "The Body." I think they would both look amazing in it. You can click here to purchase these shorts at Singer22 for $152.

BR Prime - Beau Rivage Ratings and Reviews

Started with onion rings that were delicious and the size of donuts. Great onion, bacon jam accompaniment. However the Delmonico steak was awful & not even "supermarket quality". The potato augratin looked amazing but the amount of nutmeg was so overwhelming that we could not eat that either. Atmosphere was a very nice escape from the smoke & noise of the casino. However, we left hungry.

Marvin was outstanding at his job serving us, he knew what was on the menu and sold us on a dessert and side that we didn't think we'd like; ended up loving them! He was very kind and prompt on everything. Thanks again Marvin.

We have had dinner at BR Prime every year for the last 5 years. It never disappoints on quality. The steaks are always excellent, we tried the creamed spinach and mushrooms for sides and they were also fabulous. Lobster tempura for appetizer started us off nicely. Wine list is good. It is smoky if you sit close to the bar, the smoke is the only detraction from the ambiance.

The food is what makes this restaurant so good. Service is no slouch either but was not top notch but good. Everything was cooked to perfection and presented in a very appealing manner. When they bring the bread selections make sure you try the raisin bread this was outstanding. Will go there again is worth the price.

My young daughter and I were staying at the Beau Rivage for a business conference and decided to try the BR Prime. We arrived about 40 minutes early and were seated immediately which was nice. The service was outstanding!! We split a Delmonico steak and shared buttered mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Creme brulee for dessert. All was fantastic except the creme brulee which had too much sugar on top that created an extremely thick coating. We especially loved the spinach and the steak! We would return in a nano second if the opportunity arises. Thank you BR Prime for the wonderful service.
My husband and I stay at the Beau Rivage ...
My husband and I stay at the Beau Rivage once or twice a year, we love the resort. BR Prime is a must when staying at the Beau or just in the area. This visit, Natalie was our server and she was fantastic. The rest of the team supporting her (from the water/bread attendant to the dish servers) were also very friendly and efficient, making sure we had everything we needed. Natalie made great recommendations and was diligent on spacing out the courses so there was no rushed feeling, we were relaxed and enjoyed everything we ordered. It was my husbands Birthday and we could not have asked for a nicer meal/experience.
The weight staff was very attentive and courteous. We were there celebrating a wedding anniversary and they went out of their way to make the occasion extra special. The food and atmosphere was more than we could have asked for. A great restaurant!
BR Prime is consistently the best restau ...
BR Prime is consistently the best restaurant on the Gulf Coast. The restaurant is head and shoulders above any other restaurant in Mississippi, and is the ONLY Casino restaurant that is "Vegas" caliber on the coast. In fact, in my opinion, it consistently exceeds the service and food quality found at Bellagio's flagship steakhouse "Prime." The waitstaff are consistent and superb, and the Sommelier, Mark Warren, is a rare blend of knowledge, sophistication, and wise counsel. From chef, to waitstaff, to hostesses, and management, they go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable.
Exceeded expectations!
Made reservations at BR Prime to celebrate our wedding anniversary and was extremely impressed with their attention to detail. I had flowers delivered to the restaurant not knowing what to expect. When we arrived, we were seated in a quiet corner with the table set with the flowers in the middle and rose petals arranged on the white tablecloth. The manager, host, and waiting staff all congratulated us and went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely be going back.
Very Special Dinner
My husband and I enjoyed our 44th Wedding Anniversary dinner here and it was superb. The table had been decorated with rose petals and a welcome letter from the management along with a beautiful arrangement of red roses.
One of the finest meals I have had in a very long time. My hat is off to staff and chefs.
We Alway Return
Everytime we come to the Beau Rivage we always have a meal at Prime. It has always been an outstanding meal and yes, I can call it a great date night as well, even though we will be married 50 years this coming June.
The service is always excellent and food outstanding.
Till the next time. Thanks for being so consistent.
My husband and I took my two interns to ...
My husband and I took my two interns to Biloxi for the weekend and we treated them to dinner at BR Prime. We've always enjoyed our visits and this time didn't disappoint. Leo provided great service and the steaks were cooked perfectly. I am sure we will be returning
Excellent food; one of the best we've ever had.
Fantastic! Been to many upscale restaurants and this is the very best! The food selection, variety, and quality were superb! The desserts were simply amazing! I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a higher-class meal.
Felt it was overpriced, still enjoyed it
The food was really good. The service and ambiance were great. The only downs side was the price. Over $200 for dinner for 2 and we did not drink alcohol. I've been to many upscale steakhouses and this one was just as nice as any other, but still seemed more expensive. We ordered the shrimp cocktail appetizer which was $20 and included only 3 shrimp. I think if it were double the size I would have been happy. The steaks were great, cooked perfectly. Service was excellent.
Great Steaks - Sides, Not So Much
My wife and I recently ate here for our anniversary. I had their gumbo as an appetizer. She had a filet mignon with a baked potato and I had a dry-aged Delmonico steak with the sautéed Mushroom Medley, Duck Fries, and Steamed Broccolini. We had a moderately priced wine with the meal. Dessert was a chocolate soufflé with coffee. I really liked the gumbo and strongly recommend it. It was just spicy enough with a good mix of flavors. The filet and steak also were excellent – couldn't be better. The Duck Fries didn't impress me and I didn't finish them. The sautéed mushrooms were very, very salty. I'd not had broccolini before so I can't make an assessment – the word "crunchy" sticks in my mind though. The table location was in a high-traffic area next to the wine room. Service was excellent and Marvin, our waiter, was very attentive and pleasant to deal with.

Experimental demonstration of the frequency shift of photonic bandgaps due to refractive index scaling using D2O-filled hollow-core photonic crystal fibers is presented. The results confirm a simple scaling law for bandgaps in fibers in which the low-index medium is varied.
© 2006 Optical Society of America
1. Introduction
Hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCF) [1] comprise an air-core surrounded by a cladding consisting of a periodic array of air-holes in silica. The cladding acts as a photonic crystal that forbids light in a range of frequencies to propagate. Light within these bandgaps is confined and guided in the air-core. Therefore, in HC-PCF's light propagates in air, in a well-confined good-quality mode over very long distances. This makes them very attractive hosts for enhanced interactions between light and matter in applications that range from gas-based nonlinear optics [2, 3] to laser-induced guidance of atoms and particles [4]. In general, such applications require filling the fiber with materials other than air. This brings about a change in the refractive index contrast of the fiber structure with a subsequent change in the transmission properties of the HC-PCF. In order to study these changes, it would be very useful to obtain scaling laws for the refractive index of the fiber structure — similar to the well-known and widely used scaling laws that describe the shift in the bandgap frequency when the size scale of the fiber is altered.
Until recently such refractive index scaling laws did not exist, mainly because they cannot be derived from the vector wave equation that describes the propagation of light in a photonic bandgap fiber. However, under the scalar-wave approximation, simple index scaling laws were derived [5] that predict the way the photonic states of the fiber scale with refractive index contrast. Apart from the above mentioned applications, such laws can be useful in other fields of fiber technology: there has recently been an increasing interest in bandgap fibers made from materials other than silica and air, the usual materials of most common HC-PCF's. For example, high index glasses can be used for guidance in the infrared region of the spectrum [6, 7], while tunable fiber devices can be made by filling the holes of a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with liquid crystals [8]. All these applications require fibers of different index contrasts between the high and low refractive index regions of the photonic crystal cladding of the fiber.
2. Theoretical background: Refractive index scaling laws
The wave equation for the scalar field distribution in a photonic bandgap fiber is given by:
where k is the free-space wavenumber, n 0 the transverse distribution of the refractive index of the structure, β the propagation constant of the mode and ∇⊥ the transverse Laplacian operator. The scalar equation is strictly valid for very small index contrasts; however it can still approximately describe propagation in a silica/air HC-PCF [5]. In the scalar case, for a photonic bandgap structure consisting of a material with high index n 1 and a material with low index n 2 with pitch Λ, it was found [5] that the photonic states scale so that the quantities:
remain invariant with any change of the parameters k, Λ, n 1 and n 2. These equations yield useful scaling laws that can describe the shift in frequency of the photonic states of the fiber when the index contrast of the latter is altered. In particular, from the first of Eqs. (2), when the low index material n 2 of the PCF is varied while the high index n 1 remains unchanged, so that the initial index contrast N 0 =n 1/n 2 becomes N, any bandgaps found originally at a wavelength λ0 will shift to a new wavelength λ given by [9]:
This equation can be a very useful tool for the study of bandgap structures with varying low index materials mainly because it avoids the numerical complexities of solving the vector wave equation. This scaling law is also particularly relevant to any application that requires filling the entire air region (core and cladding) of HC-PCF with gases or liquids.
3. Experimental results and discussion
Here we experimentally demonstrate the bandgap shift in two HC-PCF's when air is replaced with liquid deuterium oxide or heavy water (D2O). D2O has a refractive index of about 1.33 in the visible part of the spectrum. By replacing the air in the HC-PCF with heavy water, the index contrast of the fiber structure was reduced from about 1.46 to 1.10. D2O was preferred to ordinary water because it is much less lossy in the near infrared [10]. White light and supercontinuum transmission spectra were taken before and after the fibers were filled with D2O. It was, therefore, possible to record the changes in the transmitted spectra due to the change in the index contrast alone, while using the same piece of fiber and keeping, thus, the pitch and symmetry of the lattice unchanged. This eliminated any spectral changes that would be due to structural differences between different fiber samples of varying index contrast.
The experimental set-up is shown in Fig. 1(a). The two HC-PCF ends were mounted into specially designed cells and the core and cladding holes were filled along the whole length of the fiber with liquid D2O. Two samples of HC-PCF were used: one with a bandgap centered at 1060 nm and another with a bandgap centered at 1550 nm. The 1060 nm fiber has a cladding pitch of 3 μm, a core diameter of 8.2 μm, while the length of the sample was 40 cm. The respective figures for the 1550 nm fiber are 3.75 μm, 10 μm and 70 cm. The fiber cells were specially designed to replace the air in the HC-PCF's with D2O, while allowing the fibers to be optically accessed via butt-coupling between the liquid-immersed HC-PCF and ordinary solid-core fibers.
Fig. 1.
Fig. 2.
As a light source, both a supercontinuum (SC) source and a tungsten lamp were used. The SC source comprises a solid-core PCF with a core diameter of about 5 μm pumped by a passively Q-switched Nd:YAG microchip laser [10] generating a SC covering a spectrum ranging from 400 nm to 1460 nm. For the 1060-nm-fiber the SC source was used, while the tungsten lamp was employed for the 1550-nm-fiber (since the SC source is weak at 1550 nm in wavelength). In the experiments the SC-generating solid-core PCF was directly butt-coupled to the input end of the D2O-filled PCF. In the case of the tungsten lamp, white light was collected from the source using a single-mode fiber SMF-28 which in turn was butt-coupled to the liquid-filled PCF. The transmission spectra taken before and after the filling process are plotted together for each fiber and are shown in Fig. 2. The transmitted spectra –normalized to the input source spectrum – are plotted both in terms of wavelength and normalized frequency kΛ. The vertical lines show the edges of the shifted bandgaps as predicted by the index-scaling law. These edges were estimated by applying Eq. (3) to the experimentally observed edges of the pass band of the original silica/air fiber. For the 1060 nm fiber the original pass band extended over the region 900–1200 nm; using Eq. (3) this band should shift to about 510–680 nm. Similarly for the other fiber, the original pass band between 1400 nm and 1800 nm shifts to the region 790–1020 nm. Finally, the arrow marks the peak of the initial pass band and the wavelength to which this peak is predicted to shift. In Fig. 2, there is very good agreement between the experimental spectra and the predictions of the index scaling law. The shifted spectra for both fibers peak within the bandgap edges given by Eq. (3). Light recorded outside these edges is believed to have propagated in the cladding. By comparing Figs. 2(a) and 2(b) it is made obvious that any discrepancies in the tungsten lamp transmission spectra from the index scaling law are mainly due to cladding contributions.
Fig. 3.
The transmitted signal of the D2O-filled fibers was found to be weaker than that of the unfilled ones. Without taking into account the intrinsic fiber loss rate (about 70–75 dB/km, practically negligible for such short pieces of fiber), the power drop is due to a combination of effects. The first is the higher intrinsic absorption coefficient of D2O compared to that of air and to scattering impurities in the liquid that fills the entire length of the fiber (e.g. suspended impurities coming from the inner surface of the cells or air bubbles inside the fiber holes). Bright scattering points were occasionally seen on the monitor screen during these experiments. The second is the expected increase in confinement and bending losses due to index contrast decrease. Finally, the butt-coupling losses were measured to be in the range 3–5 dB before the fiber was filled with D2O. Inside the liquid, the coupling losses could increase due to the scattering impurities between the end-faces of the fibers. Since the loss rate of liquid-filled fiber-which, fundamentally exhibits different confinement loss as that of the hosting HC-PCF is not known, these coupling losses cannot be directly estimated.
The near-field intensity distribution at the output fiber end was imaged for the 1060 nm D2O-filled PCF. The experimental set-up is that shown in Fig. 1(b). A long working distance ×20 microscope objective collected the light at the fiber output and imaged it onto a color CCD camera. Initially, the supercontinuum light was used as a source. The transmitted core modes had an orange/red color that matches very well with the location of the shifted bandgap of the liquid-filled fiber (see Fig. 3) and provides a visual demonstration of refractive index scaling. Moreover, it is worth noting that this is, to our knowledge, the first demonstration of bandgap guidance in a D2O/silica photonic crystal fiber. The same procedure was repeated using a laser diode operating at 633 nm as a source. This wavelength lies well within the shifted bandgap of the liquid-filled fiber. The same core modes as the ones observed with the white light source were excited at the output of the fiber.
Fig. 4.
Full-vector calculations were also performed for one of the fiber structure used in the experiments (the 1550 nm fiber). The modeled structure is shown in Fig. 4 (top). Density of states (DOS) [13] maps were produced for the structure with a background index of 1.45 (silica), while for the index of the holes both the values of 1.00 (air) and 1.33 (D2O) were taken. The method used was the same as in [12, 13]. The DOS plots for silica/air and silica/D2O are also shown in Fig. 4 (bottom). The initial (silica/air) bandgap lies between 13.8 and 16.9 units of normalized frequency. When air is replaced by D2O the bandgap shifts to the region between 23.1 and 28.9 units of normalized frequency. This agrees well with the experimental transmission spectra of 1550 nm fiber before and after D2O filling respectively (Fig. 2(b)). It was also observed, both in the experiments and in the full-vector calculations, that the shifted bandgaps occurring for smaller index contrasts are wider in frequency than the bandgaps of structures with higher index contrasts. This is due to the following [5]: the overall bandgap is produced by the overlap of the bandgaps of each of the two states of polarization. For small index contrasts (scalar regime) the two polarization states are degenerate and their bandgaps completely overlap producing wider bandgaps. As the index contrast increases (vector regime), splitting of the two polarization states occur, the bandgap overlap is smaller and so a narrower bandgap is generated.
4. Conclusions
In these experiments the usefulness of the index-scaling laws as, at least, a preliminary tool for the study of photonic bandgap fibers was demonstrated. There was good agreement between the observed transmission bands of the liquid-filled PCF's and the predictions of both a full-vector model and the scaling law. Discrepancies between experiment and the index scaling laws are mostly due to the fact the latter are strictly valid for the smallest index contrasts and also due to experimental factors, such as contribution from light in the fiber cladding. Some widening of the shifted bandgaps in the low-index-contrast fibers was observed in accordance with theory. These results can be of use in the study of bandgap fibers made from materials of varying index contrast and also in applications of HC-PCF's that require replacing the air in the fiber with different materials. Moreover, the experiments demonstrated bandgap guidance of light in liquid with many potential applications (e.g. UV transmission, laser guidance of liquid-suspended particles and tunable bandgap fibers using liquid crystals).
