Abstract

In this paper, a new class of optical fibers is studied, i.e. microstructured fibers or photonic crystal fibers (PCF). The main objective is to characterize these fibers using different dispersion diagrams and present an interface that enables calculation of various transverse indexes. The choice of these profiles was guided by a simplification achievement. Furthermore, in order to acquire expertise in air-silica microstructured fibers, a behavior modeling of these particular structures is proposed in this paper in order to present an analytical method based on empirical equations. The fibers treated in this paper have a triangular arrangement of holes corresponding to the natural arrangement of a bundle of cylindrical tubes around a central rod of the same diameter.
