Abstract

Since the born of the photonic crystal fiber, because of the excellent characteristics which is superior to the traditional fiber, it has become research hotspots in the field of optical fiber communication, optical sensing and optical devices in recent years. However, the loss of fiber has been restricting an obstacle in light signal transmission. The loss of traditional quartz fiber was about 0.15dB/km, which means the signal power will be half after 20km. In this paper, by increasing the perfectly matched layer, according to the imaginary part of the effective refractive, we calculate the confinement loss of two polarization direction, analyzed different parameters, especially the influence of changing number of air hole layers and air hole pitch on the confinement loss. The experimental results show that, the confinement loss can be controlled within level 10-7 (dB/m), it has great reference value for high speed and long distance optical communication.
