Abstract

We report on our experimental characterization of index-guiding photonic crystal fibers (PCF) from their far field intensity distribution. The algorithm presented below makes it possible to determine the geometrical parameters of the PCF (core diameter, air hole spacing and air hole diameter) from its far field pattern. We obtained good agreement with the manufacturer’s data for all fibers tested.
