Manipulating the Propagation of Solitons with Solid-Core Photonic Bandgap Fibers

Figure 2

Transmission spectrum of the solid-core PBG fiber 1 (black line, left axis) measured with a SC source, and computed confinement losses across the first PBG (red line, right axis). Insets show the near-field mode profile in the first (right) and second (left) PBG. Gray areas depict spectral regions in which the PBG guidance in the core is not allowed.
