Key MOF properties
• “Endlessly single-modedness” (Birks et al, Opt. Lett. 22, 961 (1997))
• Unique dispersion

MOFs and structural losses
Finite number of rings always losses
![Page 7: Www.cudos.org.au Modes in Microstructured Optical Fibres Martijn de Sterke, Ross McPhedran, Peter Robinson, CUDOS and School of Physics, University of](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013003/551affb6550346f70d8b5544/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Dilemma of Modes in MOFs (1)
• Conventional fibre: number of modes is number of bound modes (without loss)
• In a MOF, all modes have loss
• Want: way to select small set of preferred MOF modes, to get a mode number
![Page 8: Www.cudos.org.au Modes in Microstructured Optical Fibres Martijn de Sterke, Ross McPhedran, Peter Robinson, CUDOS and School of Physics, University of](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013003/551affb6550346f70d8b5544/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
www.cudos.org.au
Dilemma of Modes in MOFs (2)
• The answer lies in the difference between bound modes and extended modes
• Few bound modes: sensitive to core details, loss decreases exponentially with fibre size
• Many extended modes: insensitive to core details, loss decreases algebraically with fibre size
![Page 9: Www.cudos.org.au Modes in Microstructured Optical Fibres Martijn de Sterke, Ross McPhedran, Peter Robinson, CUDOS and School of Physics, University of](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013003/551affb6550346f70d8b5544/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Properties of Modes in MOFs
• Mode properties have been studied using the vector multipole method
• This enables calculation of confinement loss accurately, down to very small levels
• The form of modal fields is also calculated, and symmetry/degeneracy properties can be incorporated into the method

Bloch Transform
• Bloch transform enables post processing of each mode to clarify structure better
• Combine quantities Bn (describe field amplitude at each cylinder centred at cl)
• Define:
• If fields at all holes are in phase: peaks at k=0

Bloch Transform: properties
• Peaks at Bloch vectors associated with mode
• Periodic in k-space (if holes on lattice)
• Knowledge in first Brillouin zone suffices
• Other properties as for Fourier transform– Heisenberg-like relation– Parseval-like relation

Cutoff of second mode: from multimode to single mode
• In modal cutoff studies, operate at λ=1.55 m; follow modal changes as rescale period and hole diameter d, keeping ratio constant.

Conclusions •Both fundamental and second MOF modes exhibit transitions from extended to localized behaviour, but the way this happens differs
• Number of MOF modes may be regarded as number of localized modes
• MOF modes behave substantially differently than in conventional fibres only where they change from extended to localized
