Although such techniques have yet to mature into commercial applications, two dimensional photonic crystals have found commercial use in the form of photonic crystal fibres (otherwise known as holey fibres, because of the air holes that run through them).

the bark provides strong and durable fibres, the tree is fire resistant and can survive severe droughts,

Hard fibres such as sisal, jute, coir and abaca may be mentioned as examples in this regard.
