Abstract

In this paper, two different models of highly nonlinear bored core photonic crystal fibers (HNL-BCPCF) are presented and compared for attaining an ultra-high negative dispersion coefficient and high nonlinearity. We achieved this dispersion by tailoring a defect into the solid core of the two proposed models and appropriately scaling down the diameter of the neighboring airholes of the core. To investigate the optical transmission properties in the fiber, simulations were carried out employing the finite element method (FEM) having a perfectly matched layer. The simulation results exhibited large negative dispersion coefficients of − 2218 ps/(nm-km) and − 2221 ps/(nm-km) for the two proposed models, respectively, when the wavelength had been tuned to 1550 nm and the corresponding nonlinear coefficients stand out to be 117.6 W−1 km−1 and 118.4 W−1 km−1. The fabrication process had been made much more feasible as the design consists of circular airholes. In our analysis, this geometry of photonic crystal fiber is noticeably more robust for its successful achievement of an ultra-high negative dispersion with high nonlinearity and facilitates optical back propagation applications and dispersion compensation for optical transmission systems.
