    摘要: A fiber optic waveguide is disclosed. The fiber optic waveguide includes a core region, and a moat region surrounding the core region. A cladding region surrounds the moat region and the core region. The cladding region includes a lattice of column structures disposed within a solid background matrix. A diameter of the core region is sized for making contact with the moat region for creating an extended core region at longer wavelengths. The core region, the moat region, and the cladding region function to produce unique dispersion compensating properties, which include negative dispersion and positive dispersion. The core region may be formed from a high index material and the moat region may be formed from a material having a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the core region. The cladding region is formed from a material having a refractive index which is higher than the index of the moat region and lower than the refractive index of core region.

    摘要: Disclosed is a photonic band-gap crystal waveguide having the physical dimension of the photonic crystal lattice and the size of the defect selected to provide for optimum mode power confinement to the defect. The defect has a boundary which has a characteristic numerical value associated with it. The ratio of this numerical value to the pitch of the photonic crystal is selected to avoid surface modes found to exist in certain configurations of the photonic band-gap crystal waveguide. Embodiments in accord with the invention having circular and hexagonal defect cross sections are disclosed and described. A method of making the photonic band-gap crystal waveguide is also disclosed and described.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a dispersion compensating device includes a dispersion compensating fiber having a dispersion more negative than about −50 ps/nm/km over a wavelength range of about 1555 nm to about 1615 nm; a Raman gain fiber having a dispersion more positive than about −40 ps/nm/km over a wavelength range of about 1555 nm to about 1615 nm; and a pump source operatively coupled to the dispersion compensating fiber and the Raman gain fiber, the pump source operating at a pump wavelength, wherein the dispersion compensating fiber has a Raman Figure of Merit at the pump wavelength, and wherein the Raman gain fiber has a Raman Figure of Merit at least about equivalent to the Raman Figure of Merit of the dispersion compensating fiber, and wherein the dispersion compensating fiber and the Raman gain fiber are arranged in series between the input and the output of the device. The device provides higher Raman gain than a conventional Raman-pumped dispersion compensating device.

    摘要: A method is provided for making a photonic band gap fiber including the steps of etching a preform and then drawing the preform into a photonic band gap fiber. Glass tubes are bundled and then formed into a photonic crystal perform having a number of passageways by reducing the cross-section of the bundle. One of the passageways is enlarged by flowing an etchant through it. After cleaning, the band gap fiber is made from the etched photonic preform, for example, by drawing.
