Abstract
An extension of localized function method is described. This enables the influence of the shapes of holes on the dispersion and polarization characteristics of the eigen-modes of holey fibres to be considered. It is demonstrated that the effect of hole shape on these characteristic parameters increases with angle sharpness and air fraction. Furthermore elongated holes can be used to control birefringence.
