Abstract
Recently, use of superconductors especially, high temperature superconductors are of interest due to the underlying physics and cost effective cooling procedures. This leads to the development in ultrafast networks and systems of future generation. A novel optical fiber with metamaterials cladding composed of a high temperature superconductor (i.e.,) Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO) and dielectric substrate is employed in the proposed structure and intended to be operated in the terahertz frequency range of 0.3–1 THz. Structure is analysed with different core composition and cladding material temperature of 20 K, 80 K and 100 K. The performance of the proposed structure is investigated in terms of mode distribution, effective mode index, loss profile, power fraction in core along with the dispersion characteristics. The proposed structure achieved better results in confinement of mode and low dispersive nature.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
