Abstract

A new numerical approach based on the solution of the full vectorial Maxwell equations is applied to investigate the waveguiding dispersion parameters of birefringent optical fibers. A mathematical procedure particularly suitable for solving the nonlinear eigenvalue problem is used to determine precisely the constant of propagation for the HE^x₁₁ and HE^y₁₁ polarized modes. For elliptical core fiber, the normalized group-delay and the normalized chromatic dispersion for these two polarized modes are computed for a large range of the normalized frequency. The dispersion coefficients obtained from these characteristics curves have a crucial importance in the mathematical description of various phenomena in linear and nonlinear Kerr-like elliptical core fibers. The proposed approach is based on a finite-element scheme and could be applied for arbitrary refractive-index profile of any multimode fiber.
