Unique loss characteristics in TE01 modes of conventional photonic bandgap fibers
Abstract:
We report modeling that demonstrates the reduction of transmission loss and broadening of the bandwidth of a conventional hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber (PBF). Numerical investigation reveals that transmission loss of the high-order TE01 mode is lower than that of the fundamental HE11 mode in fibers with thick cladding walls. By comparing dispersion curves of PBFs with different core-wall thicknesses, we show that the TE01 mode has weaker coupling strength to a surface mode than the HE11 mode. This result opens the way for a wider transmission band and lower transmission loss in PBFs that are subject to the detrimental effects of surface modes.

What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
