Design of photonic band gap optical fibers using finite elements

Abstract

In this paper, we study a new class of optical fibers to be utilized in future optics and optoelectronics. These so‐called photonic band gap (PBG) waveguides can be classified into a fundamentally different way to all optical waveguides and possess radically different guiding properties due to PBG guidance, as opposed to guidance by total internal reflection.
