Numerical analysis of six-hole holey fibers

摘要

Mode properties of two different types of six-hole holey fibers were analyzed using the plane wave expansion (PWE) method. Calculated results suggest that a variety of waveguide dispersion characteristics may be obtained from these structures with a suitable choice of hole shape, size and pitch values. In addition, mode field diameter (MFD) and splice loss due to the MFD mismatch were calculated.
