Abstract
The current study aims to explore the reduction of optical fiber dispersion by creating a photonic crystal optical fiber with a hollow core. To analyze this, both a hollow core photonic crystal fiber and a standard solid core optical fiber are employed, with a Gaussian pulse as the input source centered at a wavelength of 0.55 m. The findings reveal the efficiency of a hollow core fiber in minimizing dispersion effects. The investigation involves a comprehensive analysis of the optical output spectra and transmission characteristics of both the photonic crystal fiber and the conventional optical fiber. When compared to the conventional fiber, the novel hollow core photonic crystal fiber demonstrates a remarkable enhancement, achieving approximately 20% higher maximum transmission.
