Design and Analysis of Dispersion Flattened Low Loss Photonic Crystal Fiber
Abstract: AbstractThis paper demonstrates the study of triangular lattice hexagonal photonic crystal fiber with GeO2 doped core. The photonic crystal fiber (PCF) studied in this research work has a core doped with 97% molar concentrated GeO2 with seven layers of air-capillaries around the core. The design and analysis of optical characteristics, i.e., dispersion, confinement loss, and effective area have been studied extensively for optimizing the structure for a certain range of …

Optimization of a Hybrid Core Photonic Crystal Fiber for THz Applications
Abstract: Despite several real-life applications, the development of low-loss terahertz waveguide is still a challenge for long-distance applications due to its low confinement and high propagation loss. In this paper, an octagonal waveguide structure has been optimized for minimum propagation loss in the THz frequency band. The optimized structure has a core diameter of 300 um with an operating frequency of 1.1 THz. From the optimized structure, we found optimized power …

An Optimized Configuration of Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) for High Birefrigent and Low Loss Application using FDTD Method
Abstract: AbstractTwo simplified structures are theoretically designed for high birefringence and low loss guiding photonic crystal fiber at operating wavelength 1.55 µm. The effective index, birefringence and confinement loss are obtained using finite difference time domain method. Simulation result shows that the maximum modal birefringence is equal to 86.33x10-5 for one configuration and lowest confinement loss in another configuration is nearly equal to 0.70x10-2 dB/Km at same operating wavelength.Keyword: birefringence, FDTD …

Improved Low Confinement Photonic Crystal Fiber with Ultra Flattened Dispersion
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, to obtain lower value of dispersion with flatness for wideband, more complicated design will be proposed with multiple-hole diameter and shapes. Confinement loss is also reduced by increasing the number of rings. We optimized cladding region in which there are holes of different diameter and shapes. Numerical investigation shows that value of confinement loss is very low -0.00116 dB/Km and ultra-flat dispersion over wideband at operating frequency …

Non-linear Photonic Crystals and their Applications: A Review
Abstract: The nonlinear photonic crystals (NLPCs) are periodic material structures in which nonlinear materials are used for photonic structure formation. In nonlinear photonic crystals, the optical response mainly depends on the intensity of the light beam that propagates through the photonic crystal. These structures show new optical properties with improved or enhanced or new functionalities that cannot be observed in linear photonic crystals. In addition to this, using nonlinear materials in …
