9. The mode profiles of the guided modes in HC-PCF match very well with the modes in a hollow waveguide made from a perfect metal [see, for example, J. A. West et al., in Proceedings of the 26th European Conference on Optical Communication, (VDE Verlag, Berlin, 2000), vol. 4, pp. 41-42]. The lowest-order mode has a Bessel-like modal field profile, which is strongly confined in the air core.
