Abstract

This paper presents a simple computational method based on the normalized frequency and normalized transverse attenuation constant parameters to design endlessly single-mode and large-mode area silica photonic crystal fibers (LMA-PCFs). Our results are compared with the data obtained from the finite-difference frequency–domain (FDFD) method, a well-known and accurate method in the analysis of the propagation characteristics of optical fibers. Our calculations and simulations results show that the presented simple computational method is a fast, cost-effective, and accurate method for modeling and analysis of all-silica-based LMA-PCFs and its results can be extensively used in existing nonlinear Schrödinger equation solver tools to simulate the evolution of the optical pulses through the silica LMA-PCFs.
