Structural and Behavioural Analysis of As₂Se₃, TeO₂, SiC, SiO₂ and Si₃N₄ for Photonic Application

Abstract:

The materials significantly influence the structural, optical and photoelectrical characteristic. Materials such as Arsenic selenide, Tellurite Glass, Silicon carbide, Silicon dioxide and Silicon nitride are investigated through finite element method. The models are established to analyse the structural behaviour of polarization preserving fibre of proposed materials. Photoelectric characteristic determines guided properties of photon particles. Refractive index of the materials influences the properties of photonic crystal fibre. A Polarization Splitter based hexagonal structure is proposed, where inner ring of cladding is in elliptical shape air holes and outer rings are in circular air holes. It provides highly negative dispersion, low confinement loss and high nonlinear coefficient between 1µm to 2µm wide wavelength ranges. The dispersion result shows -2000 db/km-nm at 1.55µm wavelength. Polarization beam splitters photonic crystal fiber characteristics of proposed materials are analysed with same structural parameters.
