Stacking the Equiangular Spiral

Agrawal, A., Azabi, Y. O. & Rahman, B. M. (2013). Stacking the Equiangular Spiral. IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 25(3), pp. 291-294. doi: 10.1109/lpt.2012.2236309

Abstract

We present an algorithm that adapts the mature Stack and Draw (SaD) methodology for fabricating the exotic Equiangular Spiral Photonic Crystal Fiber. (ES-PCF) The principle of Steiner chains and circle packing is exploited to obtain a non-hexagonal design using a stacking procedure based on Hexagonal Close Packing. The optical properties of the proposed structure are promising for SuperContinuum Generation. This approach could make accessible not only the equiangular spiral but also other quasi-crystal PCF through SaD.
