Abstract :

The proposed design of Borosilicate crown glass photonic crystal fiber is for minimizing the chromatic dispersion to low level. The Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method along with the transparent boundary condition (TBC) is used for preparation of this design. This method is bringing to produce zero dispersion at 0.5μm to 1.5μm diameter of circular and elliptical air holes. Such PCF have high potential to be used as a dispersion compensating fiber in optical window. The refractive index is calculated with this method is equal to the conventional Borosilicate crown glass i.e. 1.534. The proposed design is also used to show the non-linear effects of the material used.
