Propagation Characteristics of Bragg Fiber: Comparative Analysis using Two Approaches

The propagation characteristics in air core Bragg fiber has been analyzed in this paper by using the two different approaches. Initially, we have computed the exact solution of Helmholtz equation and later the asymptotic limits have been used to calculate the propagation characteristics of TE modes in air core Bragg fiber. In last, we have compared the both results after mathematical computation and find excellent agreement between both approaches.
