A linear step effective index model to study chromatic dispersion properties in high nonlinear photonic crystal fibers

By using the linear step effective index model (LSEIM), we analyze the chromatic dispersions (CDs) of high nonlinear photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). The linear expression of the air filling fraction as a function of the relative air-hole size is introduced for the cladding effective index. Then it is found that the LSEIM is an efficient method in high speed and high precision. And this method demonstrated by experimental data can be widely used in not only larger relative air-hole high nonlinear PCF, but also in the endlessly single mode PCF. Therefore, this research provides important theoretical basis for the development and application of high-precision phase matching PCF.
