METHOD OF CALCULATION OF BENT MULTI-CORE MICRO-STRUCTURED FIBERS
Abstract
We present the modification of the line method for calculation of the parameters of guided modes of straight and bent three-core microstructured fibers. On the basis of the method proposed, we analyzed the effective indices, radiation loss coefficients and a transverse field distribution of the fundamental modes in such fibers as a function of their structure (air holes diameter and separation, core separation) and bend value.
