Abstract

One provides a simple recipe, which is manipulating refractive of doped region of the MCPCF, to obtain the equal amplitude distribution of the in-phase supermode for multicores photonic crystal fibers (MCPCFs). Using coupled mode theory and vector finite element method (VFEM), a 7-core PCF is analyzed in detail and the results are applied to 16-,18- and 19-core PCFs, which will find important applications in high-power MCPCF lasers and amplifiers. One shows that it is possible to construct uniformly distributed modes for the nontrivial examples of 7- 16-, 18- and 19-core PCFs. One demonstrates that an equal amplitude distribution of in-phase supermode can be achieved by manipulating refractive of doped region in cores area. This research would provide a theoretical basis for investigating equal amplitude in-phase supermode in the MCPCF.
