In this paper, we propose the solid-core photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with hexagonal cladding infiltrated with propanol in the air-holes. The dispersion characteristics and zero- dispersion wavelengths of these PCFs have been compared with previous publications and analyzed in detail. By investigating the dependence of the dispersion characteristics on the air-hole diameters, we determine the optimal structures with 1 µm of that. The PCF infiltrated with propanol exhibits flatter and smaller dispersion characteristic and the zero-dispersion wavelength shifted towards a longer wavelength, 24 nm compared with ethanol permeable PCFs [17]. This result shows that structure with a diameter of air-holes by 1µm is suitable for supercontinuum (SC) generation in the near- infrared wavelength range.

In this paper, we propose three solid-core photonic crystal fibers based on silica, with hexagonal, circular and square lattices as a cladding, composed of 8 rings of air-holes surrounding the core, infiltrated with ethanol. Using a commercial software we simulated the light propagation in these structures. The size of the air-holes was from 1 µm to 4 µm. We have shown that the fibers with the hexagonal lattices are optimal for supercontinuum generation since their dispersion characteristics are flat and the smallest.
