Abstract

Abstract Photonic quasicrystals are of particular interest for waveguiding applications because of their beneficial advantages over conventional photonic crystals, such as higher-order rotational symmetry and more isotropic Brillouin zone. In this work, by use of a 12-fold symmetric photonic quasicrystal lattice and an optofluidic infiltration approach, we sought to design a hollow-core fiber for telecom C band operation. The simulation results demonstrate a wide flat dispersion range around the zero-dispersion wavelength of 1550 nm and an ultralow confinement loss of 2.6 × 10-7 dB/m, whereas the maximum effective mode area attained in the simulations is approximately 5.5 μm2.
