Abstract
The importance of optical fibers has been greatly increasing over the years as technology for communication and sensing continues to improve and expand. With this increased importance, there has been more research into optimizing optical fibers to make them more sensitive and reliable, which is especially important for biosensing. One of the types of fibers being studied is the photonic crystal fiber, which contain a pattern of holes in their cross-section. In this study, various simulations will be done using the RSoft software to compute the modes of a photonic crystal fiber.
