Abstract :
Approximate dispersion and bending properties of all-silica two-dimensional photonic crystal fibres are characterised by the combination of an effective-index model and classical analysis tools for optical fibres. We believe for the first time to have predicted the dispersion properties of photonic crystal fibres. The results strongly indicate that these fibres have potential applications as dispersion managing components
