In this regard, we directed a theoretical study with numerical simulations. This study allowed us to illustrate how a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) structure could divide an optical signal. One of the most fundamental components used to construct photonic integrated circuits (PIC) is the splitter, which is using light coupling between the cores as a control until the output ports by using pure silica to replace some air-hole zones along the PCF axis and split the single signal on two ports with almost equal intensity in each port. Optical interconnects are one of the most basic components of integrated optics, and splitters for photonic power are a key element of a connected family. With the least amount of loss, a competent photonic splitter can guide light input of a certain wavelength to several ports at various intensities.
This paper describes study of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) in order to study the influence of temperature on the chromatic dispersion; these types of fibers are based on commercial structures, but air holes will be infiltrated with water. Using finite domain-beam propagation method, it is shown that the zero dispersion wavelength can be shifted from 1.058753 to 1.271767 µm, a shift of 213 nm. At 50 °C, a shift of 169 nm.
As a result, we reveal that the proposed PCF can successfully compensate for the chromatic dispersion by the influence of temperature. Furthermore, the design model and methodology can be applied to design other dispersion-based devices, such as dispersion-flattened fibers and dispersion-shifted fibers, or can be used also as a sensor of temperature.
