Abstract :
Summary form only given. There has been great recent interest in microstructured fibers that consist of a regular arrangement of holes stretched along silica or air core. These fibers can guide light either by opening a photonic bandgap or, in the case of silica core, by total internal reflection. Microstructure fibers have unique dispersion properties that can be engineered by their structural parameters. It is important to have reliable theoretical model for successful design of fibers with desired properties. We measured GVD in three types of microstructured fibers and compared the data with the results from theoretical simulation made with MIT Photonic-Band package.
