PARAMETER-DEPENDENT DISPERSION AND TRANSMISSION IN A NOVEL TUNABLE PHOTONIC CRYSTAL FIBER

Depending on the properties of photonic band gap materials, a novel photonic crystal fiber (PCF), formed by lithium niobate and liquid crystal, has been studied numerically. Dispersion relationships and transmission spectra of the PCF are calculated by methods of the full-vector modal and the finite difference time domain, respectively. The parameter-dependent dispersion and transmission of the PCF have been found. It is shown that the design of the novel photonic crystal fiber could be supported by the theoretical analysis in the paper.
