Characteristics of square-lattice microstructured optical fibers: An analytical field approach

Using our earlier developed analytical field model we have studied the modal properties of index-guiding or solid-core microstructured optical fibers with square-lattice of circular voids or air-holes in the photonic crystal cladding made with high nonlinearity non-silica glass composition material as well as fused silica glass. For comparison the numerical simulation results have been included.
