Photonic Crystal Mikaelian Lenses and Their Potential Use as Transverse Focusing Elements in Microstructured Fibers

We numerically studied the focusing properties of a special type of graded index photonic crystal media, i.e., the so-called photonic crystal Mikaelian lenses (PCMLs). We considered PCMLs with a varying air hole diameter and with a varying air hole pitch in hexagonal and rectangular lattices, and we...
