Fem Analysis of an Ellipltical-core Segmented Cladding Fibre
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze an elliptical core segmented cladding fibre using the vector finite element method (FEM) and show that the segmented cladding can effectively control the birefringence of the fibre. The analysis should be useful for fibre-based polarization controlling devices and single-polarization devices.

Optical Fibres With Depressed Claddings For Suppression of Coupling into Cladding Modes in Fibre Bragg Gratings
A new method for suppression of coupling from guided optical modes into cladding modes in an optical fibre Bragg grating using a fibre with a strongly depressed cladding is proposed. Strong suppression of the coupling has been demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. Optical fibre Bragg gratings have attracted much attention in recent years due to their numerous applications such as ...
متن کاملBirefringence analysis of multilayer leaky cladding optical fibre
We analyze a multilayer leaky cladding (MLC) fibre using the finite element method and study the effect of the MLC on the bending loss and birefringence of two types of structures: i) a circular-core large-mode area structure and ii) an elliptical-small-core structure. In a large-mode-area structure, we verify that the multi-layer leaky cladding strongly discriminates against higher order modes...
متن کاملModelling of long-period fibre grating response to refractive index higher than that of cladding
In this paper we introduce a new mathematical model, which can be used to investigate the response of a long-period fibre grating to changes in ambient refractive indices of values both greater and less than that of the cladding. A numerical method to calculate the HE core and cladding modes is presented. The results show that even when the ambient refractive index is higher than that of the cl...
متن کاملPunch plastic deformation pipe cladding (PPDPC) as a novel tube cladding method
This study presents a new mechanical tube cladding process named punch plastic deformation pipe cladding (PPDPC) based on local deformation by pressing a punch into the inner layer of the bimetal tube. To investigate the capability of the process, stainless steel tube (as the inner layer) is bonded to a carbon steel pipe (as the outer layer) to fabricate a bimetal pipe. Shear punch tests were u...
متن کاملPhotonic-Crystal Fibres with Suspended Core — Numerical Analyses
1. The photonic-crystal fibres In conventional optical fibres, electromagnetic modes are guided by a phenomenon of total internal reflection on a core-cladding border. The core refractive index is higher than the refractive index of a cladding which is achieved by adequate doping of a central part of the based material [1]. After over 20 years of intense researches on optical fibres, including ...
