To optimize splice joint between different PCF-based devices and SMF transmission medium

An analysis of splice loss between photonic crystal fibers （PCFs） and conventional single-mode fibers （SMFs） is presented at bending and straight conditions, by using scalar effective index method （SEIM）, vectorial effective index method （VEIM）, and finite-difference frequency domain （FDFD） methods. It is shown that when there is a slight bending at the vicinity of splice joint, the spot size increases sharply at higher frequencies. On the basis of the obtained results, a mechanism to optimize the splice loss between PCFs and conventional SMFs, both with any geometry, is suggested. The results can be utilized for PCF- based devices to be jointed to SMF as a transmission medium.

Solid-core square-lattice photonic crystal fibers: comparative studies of the single-mode regime and numerical aperture for circular and square air-holes

In this paper we have studied solid-core square-lattice PCFs with circular and square shaped air-holes. We have estimated the V-parameter by using the step-index fiber approximation (SIFA) and calculated numerical apertures for the structures considered. In order to estimate the effective core radius of the structure with the square shaped air-holes we have used an approximation based on the air-filling fraction.

How exact are simplified scalar approaches to optical fields in oxide-confined stripe-geometry diode lasers?

Optical model, scalar or vectorial one, describing behaviour of an optical field within a diode-laser cavity, is one of the most important parts of modelling of a diode-laser operation. As compared to more accurate vectorial optical approaches, scalar ones are known to be less exact but simultaneously they need much less computation time. Besides, they have been sometimes found to be surprisingly exact even beyond their confirmed range of validity. Therefore, in this paper, real validity limits of their application have been determined by comparing their simplified results with more exact results obtained with the aid of vectorial models. The analysis comprises a comparison of an application of the most popular scalar approach to optical properties of diode lasers, i.e., the effective index method, and the vectorial method of lines for the standard 1.3-μm GaAs-based stripe-geometry diode laser. The scalar model has been found to be quite exact in the case of a determination of the effective refractive index, i.e., the wavelength of emitted radiation, whereas its exactness in the lasing threshold analysis is much worse, especially in the case of higher-order modes. Our analysis is concluded with a determination of the regions where both models give satisfactorily close results.     

Influence of interstitial air holes in index-guiding photonic crystal fibers on their basic properties

The modal properties of index-guiding photonic crystal fibers (IGPCFs) with and without interstitial air holes (IAHs) are numerically investigated by the multipole method. It is shown that the IAHs can favorably decrease the confinement loss and the effective mode area of IGPCFs, and simultaneously increase the nonlinear coefficient in the IGPCFs. In addition, at the same air hole diameter d and pitch Λ, IGPCFs with IAHs can shift the position of the zero-dispersion wavelengths to the shorter wavelengths and make the group-velocity dispersion more flattened in the region of anomalous dispersion. By comparing the optical properties of the PCFs in the presence/absence of IAHs and at the same air-filling fractions, it is shown that the change in the optical properties induced by the presence of IAHs is different from those achieved by a simple increase of the air-filling fraction, a result attributed to stronger scattering by IAHs.
