Unlike the conventional waveguide such as optical fiber using total internal reflection, photonic crystal waveguide(PCW), a waveguide made of a line defect in a photonic crystal(PC) structure, does not admit an analytic approach due to its complexity but requires a direct numerical approach. Here, we present numerical results of computer simulation for PCW by using the three-dimensional(3D) Finite-Difference Time -Domain(FDTD) algorithm. (omitted)

A photonic crystal fiber with two large air holes outside the holey cladding region is fabricated to induce an effective long periodic grating (LPG) in the core by an electric arc discharge. We believe that the two large air holes lead to the asymmetric perturbation in the core under the electric arc discharge, thereby introducing the coupling to the first higher-order mode. The transmission characteristics of the PCF with the LPG for the external perturbation such as strain, curvature, and temperature are also investigated. It was found that the shift of resonance peak in the transmission spectrum depends on the bending direction. The curvature of 8.55 $m^{-1}$ results in the center wavelength shifts of 1.8, 4.3, and 11 nm for a vertical, diagonal, and horizontal direction of the curvature to the large air-hole alignment, respectively.

Anti-resonant hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (AR-HCF) has unique advantages, such as low nonlinearity and high damage threshold, which make it a promising candidate for high-power laser delivery at distances of tens of meters. However, due to the special structure, optical properties such as mode-field profile and bending loss of hollow-core fibers are different from those of solid-core fibers. These differences have limited the widespread use of AR-HCF in practice. In this paper we conduct numerical analysis of AR-HCFs with different structural parameters, to analyze their influences on an AR-HCF's optical properties. The simulation results show that with a 23-㎛ air-core diameter, the fundamental mode profile of an AR-HCF can well match that of the widely used Nufern's 20/400 fiber, for nearly-single-mode power delivery applications. Moreover, with the ratio of cladding capillary diameter to air-core diameter ranging from 0.6 to 0.7, the AR-HCF shows excellent optical characteristics, including low bending sensitivity while maintaining single-mode transmission at the same time. We believe these results lay the foundation for the application of AR-HCFs in the power delivery of high power fiber laser systems.

본 논문에서는 짧은 길이의 편광유지 광자결정 광섬유(polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber : 이하 PM-PCF)와 3 dB 광섬유 결합기(fiber coupler), 그리고 편광 조절기(polarization controller)로 구성된 사냑(Sagnac) 복굴절 간섭계(birefringence interferometer)를 이용하여 온도에 둔감한 편광 간섭형 스트레인 센서(polarimetric strain sensor)를 구현하였다. 센서부(sensor head)로 사용된 PM-PCF의 길이는 2 cm이었고, 이는 기존의 PM-PCF 기반 편광 간섭형 스트레인 센서들과 비교할 때 가장 짧은 센서부 길이이다. 제안된 센서는 $0{\sim}8m{\varepsilon}$의 범위에 대해서 스트레인 측정을 수행하였으며, ${\sim}0.87pm/{\mu}{\varepsilon}$에 해당하는 스트레인 민감도를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 외부 온도를 $30^{\circ}C$에서 $100^{\circ}C$까지 변화시키며 제안된 센서의 온도 의존성을 조사한 결과, 약 $-12pm/^{\circ}C$의 온도 민감도를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이는 기존의 편광 유지 광섬유의 온도 민감도(약 $-990pm/^{\circ}C$) 에 비해 약 82배정도 작은 값이다. 특히, 실용적인 관점에서 센서 표지자(indicator)로 사용되는 파장이 스트레인 민감도에 큰 영향을 주지 않는다는 것을 실험 및 이론적으로 확인하였다.

큰 복굴절 값을 갖는 광자결정광섬유는 실리카 단일 물질로 구성되어 온도 민감성이 매우 낮다. 이를 이용하여 온도변화에 영향을 받지 않는 스트레인 및 구부림 센서를 구현하였다. 이때, 스트레인 변화에 따른 민감도는 $1.41\;pm/{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ 이고, 구부림에 대한 민감도는 타원코어 장축 방향과 단축 방향으로의 구부렸을 때 각각 $0.93\;nm/m^{-1}$, $-1.6\;nm/m^{-1}$ 로 차이가 있었다.

A tapered As₂S₃ photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with four layers of air holes in a hexagonal array around the core is designed in this paper. Numerical simulation shows that the dispersion D decreases and the nonlinearity coefficient γ increases from the thick to the thin end along the tapered PCF. We simulate the midinfrared pulse compression in the tapered As₂S₃ PCF using the adaptive split-step Fourier method. Initial Gaussian pulses of 4.4 ps and a central wavelength of 2.5 ㎛ propagating in the tapered PCF are located in the anomalous dispersion region. With an average power of assumed input pulses at 3 mW and a repetition frequency of 81.0 MHz, we theoretically obtain a pulse duration of 56 fs and a compression factor of 78 when the pulse propagates from the thick end to the thin end of the tapered PCF. When confinement loss in the tapered PCF is included in the simulation, the minimum pulse duration reaches 72 fs; correspondingly, the maximum compression factor reaches 61. The results show that in the anomalous-dispersion region, midinfrared pulses can be efficiently compressed in a dispersion-decreasing and nonlinearity-increasing tapered As₂S₃ PCF. Due to confinement loss in the tapered fiber, the efficiency of pulse compression is suppressed.

It is reported that the spectral loss of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) having a large hole-to-hole distance (~ 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) is sensitive to micro- and macrobending when compared with the conventional single-mode fiber. In this paper, we will present the measurement result of the macro- and microbending characteristics of fabricated PCF with large hole-to-hole distance (> 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) . For the macrobending experiment, the fiber was simply wound around a circular structure with variable diameter that could be reduced to a few centimeters. For the microbending case, regularly spaced silica rods were attached on a slide glass and pressed against the fiber by loading a stack of metal plates of known weight on the glass. The transmission loss spectrum shows a rather flat response to the to microbending, and this makes the PCF a good candidate for a wideband variable optical attenuator.
