Resumo

A special microstructured optical fiber, which may be used in a wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) optical fiber transmission system for residual chromatic dispersion compensation, is designed and analyzed. The proposed structure is obtained by introducing a small Ge-doped core at the center of a conventional photonic crystal fiber. The behavior of the resulting geometry has been optimized by a genetic algorithm in conjunction with an efficient vectorial finite element formulation. Numerical results show that the designed photonic crystal fiber exhibits flattened negative dispersion over $E + S + C + L + U$ wavelength bands with an average dispersion of $-$ 212 $\hbox{ps} \cdot \hbox{km}^{-1} \cdot \hbox{nm}^{-1}$ .
