Abstract

The full-vectorial finite difference method (FV-FDM) is applied to perform modal solution to
photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). The effects of geometrical parameters of the circular and elliptical
holes on the effective index, the dispersion and the effective mode area of the fundamental mode
have been studied. PCF structure showing dispersion of 0+1.288 ps/nm.km over the wavelength range from 1.3 um to 1.8 um has been reported. The applicability of using PCF as a pressure sensor
has been discussed.
