Large mode area and nearly zero flattened dispersion photonic crystal fiber by d

In this study, we propose that by diminishing only the pitch of the innermost air-holes-ring of a HF1 photonic crystal fiber, both an effective mode area up to 100 μm2 at 1.55 μm wavelength and nearly zero dispersion of 0.2 ± 1 ps/(km·nm) within a spectrum range of 1.23–1.65 μm can be achieved simul
