Engineered Chromatic Dispersion in Photonic Crystal Fibers Selectively Doped with Water

The presented work deals with the topic of engineered zero chromatic dispersion and negative chromatic dispersion. The study of mutual relations of selected physical and optical quantities, referring to the studied structures is provided with the goal to achieve a well-defined procedure to design zero-dispersion microstructured optical fibers, immune to specific adjustments of fiber geometry, which commonly significantly contribute to resultant dispersion. The main attention is paid to photonic crystal fibers that exhibit unique properties, being the result of selective doping of rings of holes in considered structures by using water.
