In this paper, a new structure is provided for the dispersion compensating photonic crystal fibers in order to broaden the chromatic dispersion and increase the dispersion compensating capability in a wide wavelength range. In the structure, putting elliptical holes in the first ring of the inner core clad of a dispersion compensating fiber of the hexagonal lattice, increases the wavelength range of the dispersion compensation, and causes this fiber to have the capability of dispersion compensation in the whole E to U telecommunication bands. In this fiber, the minimal dispersion will be -1006 ps/(nm.km) at the 1.68 μm wavelength and at the 1.55 μm wavelength the dispersion coefficient will be -710 ps/(nm.km). The simulations are all done using the finite difference time domain numerical method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
