Photonic crystal fibers guide light by corralling it within a periodic array of microscopic air
holes that run along the entire fiber length. Largely through their ability to overcome the …

Photonic crystal fibers are a kind of fiber optics that present a diversity of new and improved
features beyond what conventional optical fibers can offer. Due to their unique geometric …

A fundamentally different type of optical waveguide structure is demonstrated, in which light
is confined to the vicinity of a low-index region by a two-dimensional photonic band gap …

Remarkable properties of optical fibers with a high-index core region and a surrounding
silica/air photonic crystal cladding have recently been reported. Here we discuss the …

In this paper we present a full-vectorial finite-difference analysis of microstructured optical
fibers. A new mode solver is described which uses Yee??? s 2-D mesh and an index …

Nanotechnology, science, and engineering spearhead the 21st century revolution that is
leading to fundamental breakthroughs in the way materials, devices, and systems are …

The dispersion properties of photonic crystal fibers are calculated by expression of the
modal field as a sum of localized orthogonal functions. Even simple designs of these fibers …

We address the long-standing unresolved problem concerning the V parameter in a
photonic crystal fiber. In formulating the parameter appropriate for a core defect in a periodic …

Using the finite element method, we propose an accurate vector analysis of the lowest
electromagnetic modes of photonic crystal fibers. The likeness of their propagation …
