Abstract
Hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers (HC-PBFs) demonstrate exceptional performance with high damage threshold, low nonlinearity, low thermal sensitivity and ultralow bending loss. However, the spatial efficiency of HC-PBFs is constrained by the absence of the multi-core structure. In this study, we present a detailed proposal and design of multi-core HC-PBFs for the first time. The structure model of multi-core HC-PBFs are constructed and the structure parameters are optimized by the loss, mode, coupling, bending characteristics based on offset-core, scaling-core, and dual-core three structure models. Finally, three kinds of multi-core HC-PBFs structures including homogeneous weakly-coupled, heterogeneous weakly-coupled, and strongly-coupled are designed with comprehensive structure and performance parameters. Simulation results indicate low loss, quasi single-mode, low crosstalk, negligible bending loss, and remarkable multi-core guiding performance. The introduction of a multi-core structure expands the potential applications of HC-PBFs in fiber communications and long-haul miniaturized fiber optic gyroscopes, high power delivery, fiber sensing, etc.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Lightwave Technology is comprised of original contributions, both regular papers and letters, covering work in all aspects of optical guided-wave science, technology, and engineering. Manuscripts are solicited which report original theoretical and/or experimental results which advance the technological base of guided-wave technology. Tutorial and review papers are by invitation only. Topics of interest include the following: fiber and cable technologies, active and passive guided-wave componentry (light sources, detectors, repeaters, switches, fiber sensors, etc.); integrated optics and optoelectronics; and systems, subsystems, new applications and unique field trials. System oriented manuscripts should be concerned with systems which perform a function not previously available, out-perform previously established systems, or represent enhancements in the state of the art in general.
