TLDR
The photonic quasicrystal fiber exhibits larger cutoff ratio for endlessly single mode operation than that of a triangular photonic crystal fiber having six-fold symmetry and almost zero ultra-flattened chromatic dispersion.
Abstract
We have investigated optical properties of an optical fiber having a six-fold symmetric quasiperiodic array of air holes in cladding, a six-fold symmetric photonic quasicrystal fiber. The photonic quasicrystal fiber exhibits larger cutoff ratio for endlessly single mode operation than that of a triangular photonic crystal fiber having six-fold symmetry and almost zero ultra-flattened chromatic dispersion, 0±0.05 ps/km/nm, in the range of wavelength from 1490 to 1680 nm. The dispersion value is much less than those of the proposed dispersion flattened PCFs.
