摘要：

Hole-assisted optical fibers are microstructured fibers which guide light using a conventional high-index core while using a small number of air holes in the cladding to achieve desirable dispersive and/or polarization properties of the fiber. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of the hole-assisted fibers using the multipole method of White et al. [Opt. Lett. 26 (2001) 1660], which is a rigorous boundary value method. Such properties as dispersion and birefringence are numerically investigated for fibers with different air hole patterns and sizes. Hole-assisted optical fibers exhibit low transmission loss and easily tailorable dispersion and birefringence. and therefore, would be valuable for dispersion management applications both in linear (WDM) and nonlinear (soliton) fiber telecommunications.
