Abstract :
Bandgap formation in liquid-crystal photonic bandgap fiber made of high-index nonsilica glass has been investigated. Simulation results indicate the possibility of evaluating the full bandgap structure through two isotropic simulations for the two polarization components. Moreover, several practically interesting guiding regimes are identified.
