Comparison of Different Photonic Crystal Fiber Structure: A Review

Abstract

Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) is the category of optical fiber; the assets of this PCF is grounded on a photonic crystal. This PCF is of two types, and they are named as solid core PCF and Hollow-core PCF. Here, in this paper a survey is proposed for different shape PCF. These different shapes PCF uses different background material like silica, Zeonex, and TOPAS. Using this different shape PCF with different background material the sensitivity and confinement loss are compared. This paper can enhance research work in the field of fiber optics.
