Abstract
Optical fiber plays an important role as a transmission channel in fiber optic communication. In this work, the design of optical fiber using integration of metamaterial which allows waveguidance through subwavelength geometry is proposed. Transmission of information through surface plasmon mediated or through classical core guidance is made possible, with metamaterial as either core or cladding. Here, the alternate combination of Ag/Al2O3 layers are used, which acts as an anisotropic metamaterial (AMM), supporting plasmonic propagation, depending upon the wavelength (around UV-Region). Parameters such as confinement loss and dispersion characteristics are analyzed for different proportions of metal and dielectric layers. Propagation of desired modes are confirmed by the obtained simulation results by Finite element method.
