椭圆空气孔微结构光纤限制损耗的分析

以完美匹配层为边界条件,用复有限元法分析了椭圆空气孔三角形微结构光纤中基模的限制损耗.数值结果表明: 当孔间距,空气填充率和空气孔环数增大时,基模的限制损耗减小.从计算结果还可以得出:限制损耗与基模的偏振有关,随着孔间距,空气填充率和孔的椭圆率的增大,y偏振模与x偏振模的限制损耗比也增大.最后,提出了两种可实现光单偏振,单模传输的高非线性微结构光纤.关键词：微结构光纤限制损耗复有限元法完美匹配层

Analysis of confinement loss in microstructured optical fibers with elliptical air holes

Confinement loss for the fundamental mode in the triangular lattice microstructured optical fibers with elliptical air holes is analyzed using the complex finite element method under the perfectly matched layer boundary condition. It is shown by the numerical results that the confinement losses decrease when the pitch of the air holes, the air-filling fraction and the rings of the air holes increase. In addition, the confinement losses are dependent on the fundamental mode polarization, and the confinement loss ratio of the y-polarized mode compared to the x-polarized mode increases with increasing pitch of the air holes, the air-filling fraction and the hole ellipticity. In the end, two kinds of highly nonlinear microstructured optical fibers that can achieve single-polarization, single mode transmission are designed.
