Study of Elliptical Core Step Index Fiber Using Marcatili’s Method

This paper is interested to study the propagation characteristics of the elliptical core step index fiber by the marcatili’s method. With the help of this method, we can analyze the elliptical core fiber and extract its birefringence and chromatic dispersion behaviors at different wavelengths. Also the study of optical and geometrical structural parameters influences on the birefringence, dispersion and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is done.
