| description | The image's quality is a crucial consideration in medical imaging, therefore selecting a fiber that offers more benefits is important. The primary objective of this work is to explore the imperative applications of Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) in medical imaging. Numerical studies utilizing the finite element method and a normal mesh have been performed on the proposed PCF with several different types of fiber materials in the core and background. More broadly in terms of wavelength, from 0.5 μm to 1.6 μm, some of the optical parameters investigated, including confinement loss, nonlinearity, effective area, and numerical aperture (NA). Changing PCF’s background material from BK7, fused silica, or ZBLAN has resulted in a shift in the parameters. Here, BK7 is discovered to be a promising possibility in medical imaging, and a thorough comparative analysis of PCF parameters has been performed. The comparison reveals that at an optical wavelength of 0.5 μm, the proposed PCF with BK7 exhibits strong nonlinearity of 119 W−1Km−1, low confinement loss of 2.97 × 10−12 dB/m, a numerical aperture of 0.15, along with a very low effective area of 4.18 × 10−12 m2. It is therefore anticipated that the suggested PCF with BK7 will be more suitable for the imaging application. |
