Abstract
In this paper, the characteristics of bent large-mode-area photonic crystal fibers are investigated comprehensively by using a finite difference mode solver with perfectly matched layers. Numerical results show that in bent large-mode-area photonic crystal fibers, the mode-field distributions are deformed and the effective mode area and the width of the guided region are reduced. The propagation character of bent photonic crystal fibers is determined by normalized propagation number and normalized bend radius. Meanwhile, the bending loss oscillation is observed and the position of the first loss peak is obtained in bent large-mode-area photonic crystal fibers.
