32	Conclusions Saturated absorption is readily achievable in photonic bandgap fibers with power <10 mW. We have characterized linewidth in terms of pressure and power. Linewidth dominated by transit-time broadening. larger-core photonic bandgap fibers desirable. Counter-propagation prone to noise- careful polarization control required We have got Satuation Power to be somewhere between 25 to 50 mW. We have also spliced the fiber outside the vacuum chamber and got very good splice.
