Modes of an endlessly single-mode photonic crystal fiber: a finite element investigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a finite-element mode solver, the modes of a commercial endlessly single-mode photonic crystal fiber (ESM-PCF) were investigated. Based on the loss discrimination between the dominant and the nearest higher order mode, we set-up a criterion for the single-modeness. Using that measure, we verified the single-modeness of the corresponding ESM-PCF and found that the endlessly single-modeness are valid only for relatively long fiber-length applications. Based on this, we suggest that ESM-PCF for short fiber-length applications should be designed differently from those for long fiber-length applications.

Abstract. A finite-element-based vectorial optical mode solver, furnished with Bayliss-Gunzburger-Turkel-like transparent boundary conditions, is used to rigorously analyze photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). Both the real and imaginary part of the modal indices can be computed in a relatively small computational domain. The leakage loss, the dispersion properties, the vectorial character, as well ...
متن کاملA finite element characterization of a commercial endlessly single-mode photonic crystal fiber: is it really single mode?
One of interesting properties of photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) is their possibility to be single-moded over a wide wavelength range, down to UV, while still having a reasonably large modal profile. Such properties are attractive for applications like optical sensing, interferometry, and transport of white light. PCFs, which is designed specially for such property are known as the endlessly sin...
