Analysis of modal interference in photonic bandgap fibres

Analysis of modal interference in photonic bandgap fibres
We present a detailed analysis of multimode interference (MI) effects in a seven cell hollow core Photonic Bandgap Fibre (PBGF). The presence of several modes with widely different group velocities and strong dispersion can give rise to complex MI modulation, which is particularly visible over meter-scale fibre lengths and represents a significant drawback for some PBGF applications. By performing a Fourier analysis of high resolution transmission spectra it was possible to isolate several modulation components. The optical modes corresponding to each of these components were then identified through their differential group index relative to the lowest-order core guided mode by comparison with accurate modal maps.

Abstract

We present a detailed analysis of multimode interference (MI) effects in a seven cell hollow core Photonic Bandgap Fibre (PBGF). The presence of several modes with widely different group velocities and strong dispersion can give rise to complex MI modulation, which is particularly visible over meter-scale fibre lengths and represents a significant drawback for some PBGF applications. By performing a Fourier analysis of high resolution transmission spectra it was possible to isolate several modulation components. The optical modes corresponding to each of these components were then identified through their differential group index relative to the lowest-order core guided mode by comparison with accurate modal maps.
