Abstract

An effective index method is proposed for all-solid photonic bandgap fibres, where the effective cladding index is taken to be that of the lower edge of the bandgaps. The weak-guidance approximation allows the effective indices of both the fibre cladding and the defect modes to be calculated analytically. Comparison with a vectorial plane wave method shows that good accuracy is obtained.
