            Abstract : 
Using a full modal vector model, the birefringence, dispersion, confinement loss, effective area, and mode field diameter in index-guiding photonic crystal fibers, also called holey fibers, are calculated. Through the real-model simulations, the polarization-dependent dispersion, confinement loss, effective area, and mode field diameter in actual fiber structures are numerically demonstrated.
