Abstract
Dispersion properties of Hollow-core PCF or micro-structured PCFs are investigated via Finite Element Method (FEM). FEM
is attractive simulation technique as it can handle complicated structure geometries very effectively. In this paper, the
dispersion characteristics, mode effective refractive index, non-linear co-efficient and effective mode area of 3-ring
hexagonal hollow-core PCFs have been investigated by using FEM. By suitable designing of 3-ring air holes of hollow-core
photonic crystal fiber at operating wavelength from 0.65μm to 1.55μm nice modal field patterns of guided light were found.
The core diameter, pitch and air hole diameter of 3-ring PCF designed in our investigation are 0.2 μm, 2.3 μm and 1.38 μm
respectively. A nearly zero dispersion of the newly designed PCF is then observed at wavelength 0.98 μm.
