Abstract
Guided-mode characteristics of a hollow-core photonic band-gap fiber (HC-PBGF) fabricated by the improved twice stack-and-draw technique are investigated from near-infrared to visible wavelengths. The Full-Vector Plane-Wave Method (FVPWM) is employed to analyze the transverse field distributions in near-infrared wavelengths. The propagation mode fields in visible wavelengths are experimentally observed. The influences of glass interstitial apexes and interstitial holes on photonic band gaps and mode characteristics are analyzed. The possible degenerate state and loss mechanism of guided modes in photonic band gaps are elementarily discussed.
