Modeling a Photonic Crystal Fiber
A step-index fiber guides light through the high refractive index of the core, while a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is made up of microstructured optical fibers that guide light either through index guiding or band gap confinement.

The optical fiber communication has been popular topics besides robot study nowadays. It is hard to solve this problem by experimental study on photonic crystals with high negative dispersion structure. The structural parameters are adjusted for the traditional hexagonal photonic crystal fiber and the negative dispersion coefficient is obtained as larger as possible.

Photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is also known as micro structured or holey fiber that uses Photonic crystal, which is formed using a periodic array of microscopic air holes that run along the entire fiber length. Light propagation in PCFs is far superior to standard fiber, which uses constant lower refractive index cladding.

This paper evaluates some of commercially available solid core photonic crystal fibers. The dispersion coefficients and sensitivity of these fibers are estimated using COMSOL Multiphysics®, and compared with the theoretical values wherever available. SCPCFs cross-section presents a periodic array of air holes surrounding a solid core, which extends invariably along the fiber length. When using a single material in the fiber manufacturing, this cross-sectional configuration leads to a lowering of the cladding’s effective refractive index given that the solid core is made of the same material.

We present the utilization RF module of COMSOL Multiphysics® for understanding three different types of wave guidance mechanisms in photonic crystal fibers (PCFs), like modified total internal reflection, Bragg’s reflection and resonant trapping of defect mode at Dirac frequency. Effective refractive indices of the core and cladding are calculated using mode analysis study to verify total internal reflection in a solid core PCF. The photonic band structure (PBS) of the cladding is calculated using eigen frequency study to identify photonic band gap (PBG) region and Dirac point.

There has been a growing interest in optical parametric amplifiers (OPA) for light generation and amplification in because of the possibility for arbitrary operation wavelength and wideband tenability [1]. PCFs are of particular interest in such nonlinear optics applications because of the enhanced light confinement and the resultant high nonlinearity (γ) achievable with air-cladded designs. Additionally, the geometric parameters of PCFs provide multiple degrees of freedom for dispersion engineering.

COMSOL Multiphysics® software was used to simulate and analyze the transmission attenuation spectra of the negative curvature hollow-core fiber (NCHCF) over the wavelength from 2.7 μm to 4.2 μm. The effect of thickness of capillaries and the effect of the distance between the capillaries on confinement loss spectra were studied, which agreed well with the high-loss and low-loss bands predicted by the ARROW model. Based on mode confinement factor, a criterion for selecting the fundamental mode was proposed.

The environments in which sensors are most integral are often the most harsh and unforgiving, such as vacuum chambers, the ocean floor, and petroleum reservoirs. Traditional sensing techniques are not ideal in these applications, whereas optical fiber sensors can provide a versatile pressure sensing solution, as they are sensitive and electromagnetically immune. Researchers at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp) and the Instituto de Estudos Avançados (IEAv) in Brazil are developing optical fibers with a microstructure that exhibits high sensing capabilities.

Design and optimization of the nanophotonic devices are critical in realizing advanced photonic integrations in the future. COMSOL can be used for simulating various types of nanophotonic devices involving different materials and dimensions. This report talks about some recent work of Prof. Zheng’s team, including the simulation of dielectric photonic waveguides, optic fibers and surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waveguides and devices.

We present a study of an optofluidic biosensor. The sensor operates in a transmission mode wherein detection is based on a shift in the transmission spectrum caused by the contrast in refractive index between the carrier fluid and the target biomaterial. We study the behavior of the sensor using 2D full-wave electromagnetic analysis, and perform parametric studies of sensitivity as a function of key device parameters. Device optimization can be accomplished using the COMSOL RF Module, and parametric designs can be completed within a few minutes on a modern workstation.

Ever since its advent optical fibers have revolutionized the communication technology but apart from communication they are being used in a variety of other areas such as medical technology, sensing, laser sources in the form of fiber lasers, amplifiers, cutting and drilling, defense applications etc. Optical fibers are manufactured by drawing techniques which have largely limited the materials that can be incorporated in them. High pressure chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD) has emerged as an important technique to deposit various materials inside pre-drawn hollow optical fibers.

Uma fibra óptica retorcida pode se converter em uma estrutura longitudinalmente invariante através de uma transformação de coordenadas. O anterior permite fazer um analise de modos transversais da fibra, servindo para estudar a geração de modos com momento angular orbital (OAM). Atualmente, os modos OAM se encontram em diversas aplicações como na microscopia e nas telecomunicações entre outros.

A logic gate performs a certain Boolean logic operation on one or more logical inputs and produces a single logical output. The logic values are either “true” or “false.” Logic gates are bistable devices, that is, they may yield one of these two possible stable outputs. The NAND logic is a universal gate; any logic operation can be performed with various combinations of NAND logics.

Microstructured optical fiber (MOF) has carved out a niche in the field of photonics in the last decade. On the other hand, the field of plasmonics is also rapidly emerging as a fascinating research area. Combining the advantages of both these fields therefore seems imperative for newer applications in interdisciplinary areas, thereby leading to the development of metal-incorporated MOFs.

The present work explores the integration of guided mode resonance (GMR) structures and topological photonics, characterized by the presence of Jackiw-Rebbi (J-R) solution. The developed surface enhanced GMR structure may serve as a platform for refractive index sensing across various fluids, with the property of being more fabrication-friendly. GMR structures are engineered optical devices that leverage resonance phenomena to enhance light-matter interactions.

Note that the output characteristic of this plasmonic waveguide filter is similar to that of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) configuration.
When a monochromatic beam of light is introduced and passes through such a nonlinear crystal, not only does the output frequency spectrum show the original frequency (ω), but it also indicates the second-order harmonic frequency (2ω).

A mode analysis study is used to find the complex effective indices for a microstructured optical fiber (MOF), consisting of air holes in a silica host. As the effective index is smaller than the refractive index of the silica background material, the modes are leaky.
The model demonstrates both the use of a perfectly matched layer (PML) and the use of the Scattering boundary condition to truncate the simulation domain.
