Abstract

The dispersion of the fiber with cladding made of uniaxial anisotropic crystal material with optical axis running along its length was investigated by means of numeric solution. The calculated results indicate that the parameter K_d has a strong impact on the dispersion and the zero dispersion wavelength of this kind of fiber, and the zero dispersion wavelength decreases with K_d increasing These studies provide an important basis for designing different zero dispersion fiber and for electric field or strain sensing.
