Preface
A decade ago a book on optical microfibers and nanofibers could be hardly foreseen. In 2003, one of the authors (L.T.), in collaboration with scientists from Harvard and Zhejiang University, published an intriguing paper in Nature on the low-loss waveguiding of silica nanofibers. This paper introduced a new vision of micro/nanofibers as basic elements for miniature photonic devices and initiated numerous scientific publications on the topic of this book. At first glance, microfiber-based phot
