Study of the Band Gap of Photonic Crystal Fiber
Authors: , , , ,
Abstract: Photonic crystal fiber PCF with silica/air hexagonal holes arrays and filling the first rings by silicon and the tunable photonic band gap PBG effect of photonic crystal fiber is proposed. The silicone with higher refractive index (>1.45) is filled into the air-holes of photonic crystal fiber to cancel the index guiding fiber effect and maximize the photonic band gap fiber effect. The proposed fiber takes full advantage of the sensitivity characteristic by create of photonic band gap fiber in-plane (in-plane gaps) and achieves a high band gap by filling the second holes ring close to the guiding core fiber by silicon; resolution in the plane of the fiber and out of plane, respectively, which are better than other fiber with silica/air hexagonal holes arrays.
