Bending-Loss Insensitive Fiber with Hole-Assisted Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
The characteristics of hole-assisted fiber (HAF) are investigated both numerically and experimentally in terms of its applicability as a bending-loss insensitive fiber (BIF). We show that HAF with the desired mode-field diameter (MFD), bending-loss and cutoff wavelength characteristics can be roughly designed by taking a few specific structural parameters into consideration. We also show that an optical cord composed of adequately designed HAF realizes satisfactory transmission performance with respect to its multi-path interference (MPI) characteristics. These results reveal that a hole-assisted type BIF will be beneficial for realizing easy and economical installation and maintenance in future access networks. key words: hole-assisted fiber, bending-loss, mode field diameter, cutoff wavelength, multi-path interference

In conventional photonic crystal fibers (PCF’s),the cladding structure is usually formed by air holes with the same diameter arrayed in regular triangular lattice. However, in index guiding PCF’s means in Hole Assisted Fiber, the periodicity in the cladding region is not essential to confine the guiding light in to the high-index core region. Hole Assisted Fiber (HAF) technology is investigat...

متن کاملDesign and characterization of single-mode holey fibers with low bending losses.
As the fiber-to-the-home network construction increased, optical fiber cables are demanded to be easier to handle and require less space. Under this situation, a single mode fiber (SMF) permitting small bending radius is strongly requested. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a novel type of bending-insensitive single-mode holey fiber that has a doped core and two layers of holes with dif...

Recently, broadband-access network has spread out rapidly, and Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) has showed a stable growth. Nevertheless, for the prevalence of additional FTTH, the so-called 'last one mile problem', which entails a huge cost for constructing optical fiber networks to end-users, has to be solved. To this end, it is necessary to improve economical efficiency of the products for network a...
