A novel 8-channel demux device based on multicore photonic crystal fiber (PCF) structures that operate at C-band range (1530-1565nm) has been demonstrated. The PCF demux design is based on replacing some air-holes areas with lithium niobate and silicon nitride materials over the PCF axis alongside with the appropriate optimizations of the PCF structure. The beam propagation method (BPM) combined with Matlab codes were used to modeled the demux device and to optimized the geometrical parameters of the PCF structure. Simulation results show that 8-channel can be demultiplexing after light propagation of 5 cm with large bandwidth (4.03-4.69nm) and crosstalk ((-16.88)-(-15.93) dB). Thus, the proposed device has a great potential to be integrated in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology for increasing performances in networking systems.

Thus, the proposed device has great potential to be integrated into dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology for increasing performances in networking systems.

A photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with a zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) in the telecommunication region is designed and an ultra-broadband fiber optical parametric amplifier (FOPA) based on such PCF is simulated. Results show that the PCF-based FOPA exhibits much higher gain with a very broad bandwidth (covering O- to U-band) in comparison with the highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF)-based FOPA. Also, the required fiber length and the input pump power are reduced for the PCF-based FOPA. The obtained results show the great potential of the PCF-based OPA for the telecommunication applications, e.g. amplification of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) signals.

AbstractThis paper describes study of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) in order to study the influence of temperature on the chromatic dispersion; these types of fibers are based on commercial structures, but air holes will be infiltrated with water. Using finite domain-beam propagation method, it is shown that the zero dispersion wavelength can be shifted from 1.058753 to 1.271767 µm, a shift of 213 nm. At 50 °C, a shift of 169 nm.As a result, we reveal that the proposed PCF can successfully compensate for the chromatic dispersion by the influence of temperature. Furthermore, the design model and methodology can be applied to design other dispersion-based devices, such as dispersion-flattened fibers and dispersion-shifted fibers, or can be used also as a sensor of temperature.

We propose a new polarization splitter (PS) based on Ti and liquid infiltrated photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with high birefringence. Impacts of parameters such as shape and size of the air holes in the cladding and filling material are investigated by using a vector beam propagation method. The results indicate that the PS offers an ultra-short length of 83.9 μm, a high extinction ratio of −44.05 dB, and a coupling loss of 0.0068 dB and at 1.55 μm. Moreover, an extinction ratio higher than −10 dB is achieved a bandwidth of 32.1 nm.
