Tóm tắt

A novelty dispersion ultra-flattened Bragg photonic crystal fiber (PCF) has been fabricated in this paper. The fiber is composed of compound cores and periodical claddings with 11 coaxial rings. It has flattened dispersion of 8.5±1.3 ps·(nm·km)−1 in the communication wavelength range of 1460–1625 nm. Its dispersion slope alters from −0.0428 to 0.0392 ps·nm−2·km−1. The low attenuation of 0.52 dB/km and low bending loss of 0.09 dB at 1550 nm of the fiber are also achieved. The Bragg PCF has enormously potential application in the fields of dense wavelength division multiplexing systems because of its superior dispersion properties and easy splicing performances.
