Dispersion of square solid-core photonic bandgap fibers
Abstract:
A novel solid-core photonic bandgap (PBG) fiber with a square lattice is proposed. It is proved that light can propagate with the PBG effect in a defect core that is created by downdoping the central silica of the lattice. Compared with those of solid-core honeycomb PBG fibers, both the PBG widths and the bandwidthsof defect modes are increased in square PBG fibers. Simulations show that dispersion of this square solid-core PBG fiber is dominated by material dispersion and influenced by the PBG edges at the bandwidth boundaries.

Energy Bands in Solids
Band Formation:
When atoms are brought close together, as in a solid, these discrete energy levels begin to split due to the overlap of electron orbitals from adjacent atoms. This split occurs because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two...
