光子带隙光纤的可调谐泄漏损耗特性的研究

通过向折射率引导型光子晶体光纤的空气孔中填充可调的高折射率的材料可以获得带隙可调的光子带隙光纤.本文采用矢量平面波展开法与矢量有限元法对可调光子带隙光纤的泄漏损耗特性进行了理论研究.研究表明，这种可调光子带隙光纤的光子带隙效应使其泄漏损耗与填充材料的折射率有很强的依赖关系，同时给出了光子带隙光纤的泄漏损耗和群速度色散与归一化波长的关系.     

带隙型光子晶体光纤的泄露谱分析

利用光束传播法对带隙型光子晶体光纤（photonic crystal fiber, PCF）的泄露谱进行了数值分析.结果表明：PCF泄露谱往往具有多个带隙；泄露谱对PCF结构的变化异常敏感,泄露峰值波长和带隙波长不但与空气孔周期有关,还受空气孔直径的影响；由于PCF的空气孔内可填充液晶,泄露特性对液晶折射率的变化极其敏感,当液晶折射率增大时,峰值泄露波长和带隙波长都向长波漂移.     

Simulations of Effect of High-Index Materials on Highly Birefringent Photonic Crystal Fibres

Novel highly birefringent photonic bandgap fibres （PBGFs） are obtained by filling of a high index material in the air holes of total internal reflection birefringent photonic crystal fibres. The effect of the filling high index material on the transmission characteristics has been theoretically investigated. The photonic bandgap has been achieved by using plane-wave method. Moreover, the phase and group modal birefringence have been studied by a full-vector finite-element method. Numerical results show that very high group and phase modal birefringence with magnitude of order of 10^-2 and 10^-3 has been respectively acquired, which is much higher than those of the non-filled fibres. Furthermore, strong coupling between surface modes and the fundamental modes has been found in the bandgap of the birefringent PBGFs, whose effect on the birefringence and confinement loss has also been discussed.
