Abstract

In this paper we propose to structure a core of the photonic crystal fiber to tailor its dispersion properties. In this case the core is composed of subwavelength rods of two types of glasses or air capillaries. We consider in the simulations two thermally matched glasses SF6 and NC21 with a high contrast of refractive indexes over 0.1. We study an influence of core structure in terms of the material and the nano-sized rod diameter on fiber dispersion. We show that a properly nanostructured core can significantly shift ZDW of the fiber. Supercontinuum generation with developed PCFs is presented.
