Numerical analysis of circularly polarized modes in coreless photonic crystal fiber

Abstract

In this paper, the coreless photonic crystal fiber (CO-PCF) is investigated using finite element. The absence of core in the PCF structure is achieved by applying the permanent twist on its cladding boundary and hence the light propagation path tends to be circularly polarized. The other modes can also be exerted other than the fundamental modes is known as cladding filled modes or super modes.
