Abstract: A new method for calculating the radiation loss and chromatic dispersion of leaky modes propagating in microstructured (holey) optical fibers (MOFs) with circular air-filled channels is proposed and implemented numerically. It is shown that the results are in good agreement with both the known numerical data and with the experimental data obtained for two types of fabricated MOFs that contain, respectively, 30 and 60 channels.
