    摘要: Coupling of core modes to surface modes in an air-core photonic-bandgap fiber (PBF) can cause large propagation losses. Computer simulations analyze the relationship between the geometry and the presence of surface modes in PBFs having a triangular hole pattern and identify ranges of core characteristic dimensions (e.g., radii) for which the fiber supports no surface modes (i.e., only core modes are present) over the entire wavelength range of the bandgap. In particular, for a hole spacing Λ and a hole radius ρ=0.47Λ, the core supports a single mode and supports no surface modes for core radii between about 0.7Λ and about 1.05Λ, which suggests that such fibers should exhibit a very low propagation loss. The existence of surface modes can be predicted simply and expediently by studying either the bulk modes alone or the geometry of the fiber without requiring a full analysis of the defect modes.

    摘要: A photonic-bandgap fiber includes a photonic crystal lattice with a material having a first refractive index and a pattern of regions formed therein. Each of the regions has a second refractive index lower than the first refractive index. The photonic-bandgap fiber further includes a core and a core ring surrounding the core and having an inner perimeter, an outer perimeter, and a thickness between the inner perimeter and the outer perimeter. The thickness is sized to reduce the number of ring surface modes supported by the core ring.

The first port is in optical communication with the second port and with the third port such that a first optical signal received by the first port is split into a second optical signal that propagates to the second port and a third optical signal that propagates to the third port. The optical sensor further includes a photonic bandgap fiber having a hollow core and an inner cladding generally surrounding the core. The photonic bandgap fiber is in optical communication with the second port and with the third port. The second optical signal and the third optical signal counterpropagate through the photonic bandgap fiber and return to the third port and the second port, respectively. The photonic bandgap fiber has a phase thermal constant S less than 8 parts-per-million per degree Celsius.
