Article Description

Numerical and analytical models of the heat transfer in gas-filled microstructured optical fibers exhibiting material absorption of the propagating light are presented. The simulation domain is subdivided into two parts, with finite-difference discretization used in the microstructured region and analytical expansion used in the homogeneous cladding region. An intuitive analytical model is then developed to account for the fiber heating, demonstrating good agreement with the numerical method. In the application to the problem of temperature distribution in holey fibers, we find that maximal temperature rise in such fibers is a sensitive function of the diameter-to-pitch ratio while being only weakly sensitive to the wavelength-to-pitch ratio. © 2007 Optical Society of America.
