Abstract

A pure silica microstructured optical fiber(MOF) with seven dual cores is designed for chromatic dispersion compensation by a finite difference frequency domain(FDFD) method with a perfect matched layer(PML) boundary condition. The multi-core structure fiber is presented for the first time. The negative chromatic dispersion peak value of the designed microstructured fiber is -4500ps/nm.km and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) is evaluated at 12nm. Furthermore the effective area of the inner core fundamental mode can reach 65mm² at 1550nm wavelength, which is three times that of a conventional dispersion compensating fiber (DCF).
