Measurement of the wavelength dependence of beam divergence for photonic crystal fiber

Opt Lett. 1999 Aug 1;24(15):1017-9. doi: 10.1364/ol.24.001017.

Abstract

We report measurements of the wavelength dependence of beam divergence for single-mode photonic crystal fiber. These measurements confirm predictions of strongly wavelength-dependent beam divergence, consistent with the effective-index model for the photonic crystal cladding material.
