Abstract

We propose a broadband tunable negative dispersion photonic crystal fiber (BT-ND-PCF) for dispersion compensation over the S + C + L wavelength bands. BT-ND-PCF is a dual-core structure in which air holes are arranged with a hexagonal lattice and temperature-sensitive liquid is infiltrated into the air holes of the fourth layer. The performance of BT-ND-PCF is numerically analyzed by the finite element method with an anisotropic perfect matching layer. The results show that BT-ND-PCF has a broadband negative dispersion coefficient of −1533.2 to −2836.4 ps / km / nm over the S + C + L wavelength bands, a dispersion coefficient of −2268.9 ps / km / nm at 1550 nm, and a kappa value of 287.9 nm at 1550 nm, which matches with Corning single-mode fiber 28 (SMF). The residual dispersion (RD) after compensating for the dispersion of 1 km SMF is in the range of −0.22 to +0.16 ps / nm. In addition, the dispersion coefficient is changed by 0.679 ps/km/nm per 1°C by controlling the temperature, which is conducive to the accurate compensation of RD. Due to its unique optical properties, BT-ND-PCF can be used in broadband dispersion compensation for dense wavelength division multiplexing optical fiber communication systems.
