Light propagation in graded-index optical fibers.
An accurate numerical method is described for solving the Helmholtz equation for a general class of optical fibers. The method yields detailed information about the spatial and angular properties of the propagating beam as well as the modal propagation constants for the fiber. The method is applied to a practical graded-index fiber under the assumptions of both coherent and incoherent illuminat...
متن کاملLow loss, low dispersion and highly birefringent terahertz porous fibers
We demonstrate that porous fibers in addition to low loss and high confinement, have near zero dispersion for 0.5–1 THz resulting in reduced terahertz signal degradation compared to microwires. We also show for the first time that these new fibers can be designed, introducing asymmetrical sub-wavelength air-holes within the core, to achieve high birefringence 0.026. This opens up the potential ...
متن کاملDispersion phenomena in optical fibers
Dispersion represents a broad class of phenomena related to the fact that the velocity of the electromagnetic wave depends on the wavelength. In telecommunication the term of dispersion is used to describe the processes which cause that the signal carried by the electromagnetic wave and propagating in an optical fiber is degradated as a result of the dispersion phenomena. This degradation occur...
متن کاملCalculation of dispersion in graded-index multimode fibers by a propagating-beam method.
Methods are developed for extracting from a numerical propagating-beam solution of a scalar wave equation the information necessary to compute the impulse-response function and the pulse dispersion for a multimode graded-index fiber. It is shown that the scalar Helmholtz equation and the parabolic wave equation have the same set of eigenfunctions in common and that the eigenvalues for the two e...
متن کاملSmooth end face termination of microstructured, graded-index, and step-index polymer optical fibers.
A new technique, based on a partially automated process, for smooth end face termination of three types of plastic optical fibers (microstructured, graded-index, and step-index) is presented. The cross-sectional shape of the fibers is preserved, and the structure in microstructured plastic optical fibers (POFs) is of good quality, showing no plastic deformations. The termination is achieved in ...
