A hexangular lattice dual-concentric-core photonic crystal fiber is proposed, which is composed of an inner core to be
formed by missing a central air-hole, an outer ring core to be produced by reducing the size of the air-holes of the third
ring and the double cladding circle air-holes along the direction of fiber length. Based on the full vector finite element
method with anisotropic perfectly matched layers, its dispersion, leakage loss and mode field area are numerically
investigated. Numerical results indicate that the proposed fiber shows large negative dispersion, strong confinement
ability of guide mode, large effective mode area and low leakage loss and low sensitivity to the structure parameters.
And the wavelength of high negative dispersion value can be adjusted by artificially choosing the parameters of the
proposed PCF, such as Λ, d1 and f. The optimal design parameters with Λ=1.2μm, f=0.92, d1=0.52μm for proposed PCF
are obtained to achieve ultra-narrowband negative dispersion value for dispersion compensation. For the optimal design,
the dispersion value reaches as high as -3400 ps·km-1 nm-1 and the dispersion slope value is between -1000~ -6000
ps·km-1 nm-2 over C band (1.53-1.565μm). At wavelength of 1.55μm, the leakage loss is closed to 10-2 dB·m-1 and the
corresponding area of effective mode is 36μm2.
A novel method for synthesizing arbitrary-shape triangular-spectrum fiber Bragg gratings (TS-FBGs) is proposed. It involves the use of a discrete layer peeling method for exploiting initial guess and a simulated annealing method for optimizing the desired grating parameter. By comparing it to the reported TS-FBGs synthesis methods, the proposed method has advantages of reducing the maximum index modulation and smoothing index modulation profile simultaneously. We employ the proposed method to synthesize FBGs with symmetric, asymmetric, and right-angled triangular spectrum, all of which have the low and smooth index modulation profiles. The synthesized gratings can act simple and cost-effective wavelength-interrogation devices in optical sensor systems.
A new structure of single polarization single mode (SPSM) microstructured polymer optical fiber (mPOF) is proposed
and numerically analyzed by using a full vector finite element method with anisotropic perfectly matched layers. The
cutoff wavelength of two linearly polarized states can be design by varying the structure parameters of mPOF. The
confinement loss are also numerically calculated and optimized at communication wavelength of polymer optical fiber
(POF) of 650 nm. From the numerical results it is confirmed that the proposed fiber is low-loss SPSM mPOF within the
wavelengths ranging from 0.63 μm to 0.73 μm, where only the slow-axis mode exists and the confinement loss is less
than 0.05 dB/m.
