Research of Numerical Simulation for Multi-Core Photonic Crystal Fiber Couplers

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, multi-core photonic crystal fiber couplers are characterized and numerically simulated with Mangan et als theory and beam propagation method. We propose a kind of 1×3 multi-core photonic crystal fiber couplers with broadband characteristics and the identical split ratio within the range from 1300nm to 1800nm. If the proper length of the couplers is chosen, light couple intensity is completely the same by periphery there-core fiber with broadband characteristics. It provides a theoretical basis for the practice of multi-core photonic crystal fiber couplers.
