Loss analysis of air-core photonic crystal fibers
By using a multipole moment approach, we analyze the loss of an air-core photonic crystal fiber and demonstrate that it is possible reduce the transmission loss that is due to photon radiation leakage through the photonic crystal cladding to a level below 0.01 dB/km, with eight rings of air holes. An analogy is drawn between air-core photonic crystal fiber modes and Bragg fiber modes. The influence of material absorption in the silica glass is discussed
An algorithm for determining copositive matrices
In this paper, we present an algorithm of simple exponential growth called
COPOMATRIX for determining the copositivity of a real symmetric matrix. The
core of this algorithm is a decomposition theorem, which is used to deal with
simplicial subdivision of on
the standard simplex , where each component of the vector is
