Abstract
Abstract In this study, design and transmission characteristics of a special type of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) geometry namely, circular-lattice photonic crystal fiber (C-PCF) structure are presented. The cladding of the structure consists by a cylindrically symmetrical distribution of air-holes in the silica background and the core is created by omitting one air-hole at the center. The structure provides high degree of flexibility in the fiber design and hence tailorable modal properties. Structural dependence of transmission characteristics of the geometry is numerically investigated by using finite difference mode convergence algorithm. The wavelength responses of fiber parameters, such as effective refractive index, chromatic dispersion, mode-effective area, and nonlinear coefficient of the structure are systematically investigated. Besides, effective V-parameter and single-mode operation of the fiber are also evaluated and discussed. The simulation results show the possibility of large negative dispersion and dispersion flattened nature of the geometry.
