Hi.
i was directed to use the optimode design of PCFs but i cant seem to see how i can use this in optibpm. Please may you kindly direct me on how i can design a PCF in OptiBPM, is there a user manual for the optiBPM? i have managed to design the PCF in optimode but there is no facilite to export it to otpisystem?

hi

I have come up with a hexagonal shaped photonic crystal fiber, with the holes in the first inner ring at 0.5 in diameter and the rest of the outer rings at 0.6. to dertemine the spacing(pitch) is still a challenge, i want it to be 2. I did the mode field simulation and its coming out funny like on some corner outside this fiber. Where am i getting wrong and how do i fix this and also can i dertemine the ZDW? Find attached the file i developed(nb. i am still very new in using this software)

Thank you for your response, i have gone through the basic operation of the software and done the example related to my work but i can’t seem to find a design example on holey or photonic crystal fibers so that i can teach myself on how to use this software for my work. Do you have any links i can follow to help me with designing PCF is OPTIBPM
