A new design of ultra- flattened near-zero dispersion PCF using selectively liquid infiltration

The paper reports new results of chromatic dispersion in Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCFs) through appropriate designing of index-guiding triangular-lattice structure devised with a selective infiltration of only the first air-hole ring with index-matching liquid. Our proposed structure can be implemented for both ultra-low and ultra-flattened dispersion over a wide wavelength range. The dependence of dispersion parameter of the PCF on infiltrating liquid indices, hole-to-hole distance and air-hole diameter are investigated in details. The result establishes the design to yield a dispersion of 0±0.15ps / (nm.km) in the communication wavelength band. The designed proposed pertaining to infiltrating practical liquid for near-zero ultra-flat dispersion of <0±0.48ps / (nm.km) achievable over a bandwidth of 276-492nm in the wavelength range of 1.2
