Abstract

It is very important for the photonic crystal fiber character to monitor its properties synchronously during the fabrication process so that a series of draw parameters can be efficiently optimized as PCF used to be produced. In this paper, we reported an efficient method to monitor PCF properties with the cross-section of the photonic crystal fiber collected by microscope and CCD. The structure parameters of the cross-section of PCF are fast picked up by digital process technology and the properties of the PCF produced are efficiently analyzed by a finite element method. The method is very helpful in optimizing the draw parameters and improving the properties of PCF.
