Modeling And Simulation Of Photonic Crystal Fibers And Distributed Feedback Photonic Crystal Fiber Lasers, Feng Wu
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
A photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is comprised of a solid or air core surrounded by periodically arranged air holes running along the length of the fiber, which guides light in a fundamentally new way compared to conventional optical fibers, affecting almost all areas of optics and photonics. To analyze the dispersion and loss properties of PCFs, a two-dimensional (2D) finite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) method combined with the technique of perfectly matched layer (PML) is developed. The propagation constant and loss can be obtained with accuracies in the orders of ∼10-6 and ∼10 -3, respectively.
The Bragg fiber is a kind of …
