In this paper we present a full-vectorial finite-difference analysis of microstructured optical
fibers. A new mode solver is described which uses Yee??? s 2-D mesh and an index …

Recent progress on numerical modeling methods for photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) such as
the effective index approach, basis-function expansion approach, and numerical approach …

Using a full-vector finite element method (FEM) with curvilinear hybrid edge/nodal elements,
a single-mode nature of index-guiding photonic crystal fibers, also called holey fibers (HFs) …

We report a new method for making low-loss interfaces between conventional single-mode
fibers and photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). Adapted from the fabrication of PCF preforms from …

A highly birefringent air-guiding photonic crystal fiber which provides guidance by a full two-
dimensional photonic bandgap (PBG) effect is proposed. The fiber core is formed by …

We propose a technique in which intensity images are reconstructed from a digital hologram
to provide inputs for the transport-of-intensity equation for unwrapped phase recovery. By …

Microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) with small hole-to-hole spacing and large airholes are
designed to compensate the anomalous dispersion and the dispersion slope of single-mode …

Using a full-vector finite-element method, we calculate birefringence and dispersion in index-
guiding photonic crystal fibers, also called holey fibers. Through real-model simulations the …

The amplification properties of different photonic crystal fibers have been studied by means
of a full vector finite-element modal formulation combined with a population and propagation …

An optical fiber taper is fabricated by heating and stretching a fiber. The resulting taper
shape is important as it strongly affects optical performance. In this paper, the tapering …
