In this article, an optimized structure of Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) has been planned that investigates the effect of dispersion and confinement loss of square shaped photonic crystal fiber, intended for wideband applications ranges from 1.35um to 1.70um. The objective of the suggested geometry is to attain such optical properties by fluctuating its parameters like pitch, number of outer circular rings and inner elliptical rings to make it flexible and simple for manufacturing. Finite Element Method and Perfectly Matched Boundary layer (PML) is set for this proposed geometry. Moreover, recommended PCF structure has unlimited application value in the fiber-optic communications such as fiber lasers, highly sensitive gas sensors, nonlinear devices, high-power transmission and much more.

A highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with large nonlinearity, low dispersion and low confinement loss is designed by introducing a solid elliptical core structure with spiral lattice of circular air holes as a cladding. The dependence of different geometrical parameters, such as pitch size, diameter of air holes and arrangement of air holes are investigated. By optimizing the available parameters, the designed elliptical–spiral PCF offers high birefringence up to 0.005264, high nonlinearity up to 8683.59[Formula: see text]W[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]km[Formula: see text], low chromatic dispersion of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]ps/nm/km, and low confinement loss of 0.00305[Formula: see text]dB/km within a wide wavelength range of 1000–2000[Formula: see text]nm.


Highly sensitive Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) has been designed and investigated for sensing the most harmful chemicals that exist in the world. The proposed structure of PCF consists of a solid circular core in which the samples of the chemicals are to be filled, surrounded by a hexagonal air-hole ring. The outermost cladding region comprises circular air-holes arranged in a helical (spiral) manner. Moreover, the sensitivity ratio of the liquid samples is investigated with respect to the wavelength. Sensitivity is monitored by checking for different wavelengths that range from 0.4µm to 1.85µm. With this proposed structure, the relative sensitivity of the chemicals such as paraffin liquid (n=1.48), pyridine (n=1.51), and bromobenzene (n=1.56) are found to be 78.49%, 82.99%, and 89.34% respectively. The proposed PCF structure is used to detect chemicals and any liquids due to its high sensitivity, large effective mode area, and low confinement loss

The orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is used for increasing the optical communication capacity in the mode division multiplexing (MDM) technique. A novel and simple structure of ring-core photonic crystal fiber (RC-PCF) is proposed in this paper. The ring core is doped by the Schott sulfur difluoride material and the cladding region is composed of fused silica with one layer of well-patterned air-holes. The guiding of Terahertz (THz) OAM beams with 58 OAM modes over 0.70 THz (0.20 THz–0.90 THz) frequency is supported by this proposed RC-PCF. The OAM modes are well-separated for their large refractive index difference above 10−4. The dispersion profile of each mode is varied in the range of 0.23–7.77 ps/THz/cm. The ultra-low confinement loss around 10−9 dB/cm and better mode purity up to 0.932 is achieved by this RC-PCF. For these good properties, the proposed fiber is a promising candidate to be applied in the THz OAM transmission systems with high feasibility and high capacity.

AbstractA porous core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) for transmitting terahertz waves is reported and characterized using finite element method. It is shown that by enveloping an octagonal core consisting of only circular air holes in a hexagonal cladding, it is possible to attain low effective material loss that is 73.8% lower than the bulk material absorption loss at 1.0 THz operating frequency. Moreover, a low confinement loss of 7.53×10–5 cm−1 and dispersion profile of 1.0823±0.06 ps/THz/cm within 0.7–1 THz are obtained using carefully selected geometrical design parameters. Other guiding properties such as single-mode operation, bending loss, and effective area are also investigated. The structural design of this porous core PCF is comparatively simple since it contains noncomplex lattices and circular shaped air holes; and therefore, may be implemented using existing fabrication techniques. Due to its auspicious guiding properties, the proposed fiber may be used in single mode terahertz imaging and other short distance terahertz applications.

In this paper, a high sensitivity, polarization preserving photonic crystal fiber (PCF), based on circular air holes for sensing in the terahertz (THz) band, is presented. The finite element method, a practical and precise computational technique for describing the interactions between light and matter, is used to compute the modal properties of the designed fiber. For the designed PCF, comprising of circular air holes in both the cladding and in the porous core, a relative sensitivity of 73.5% and a high birefringence of 0.013 are achieved at 1.6 THz. The all circular air-hole structure, owing to its simplicity and compatibility with the current fiber draw technique for PCF fabrication, can be realized practically. It is anticipated that the designed fiber can be employed in applications such as detection of biological samples and toxic chemicals, imaging, and spectroscopy.
