Abstract
Photonic crystal fibers (PCF's) have recently gained a great deal of interest for their remarkable waveguiding properties.1 This new kind of fiber relies on the photonic band created by a deformed 2D periodic pattern of air rods in dielectric medium to guide the light. Moreover, control over the hole pattern enables tailoring modal and dispersion properties without having to resort to complex fiber perform.
