Low-loss criterion and effective area considerations for photonic crystal fibres

We study the class of endlessly single-mode all-silica photonic crystal fibres with a triangular air-hole cladding. We consider the sensitivity to longitudinal nonuniformities and the consequences and limitations for realizing low-loss large-mode-area photonic crystal fibres. We also discuss the dom...

Description
Summary:We study the class of endlessly single-mode all-silica photonic crystal fibres with a triangular air-hole cladding. We consider the sensitivity to longitudinal nonuniformities and the consequences and limitations for realizing low-loss large-mode-area photonic crystal fibres. We also discuss the dominating scattering mechanism and experimentally we confirm that both macro- and micro-bending can be the limiting factor.
