Simple semi-empirical model for chromatic dispersion estimation of dispersion compensating photonic-crystal fibers

A simple semi-empirical model for chromatic dispersion estimation of dispersion compensating photonic-crystal fibers in a limited range of wavelengths is presented in this paper. The proposed approach is widely used in the field of electromagnetic waves of the microwave range, for instance, for calculation of approximate estimates of the effectiveness of electromagnetic shields and here in this paper we adopted it for the estimation of chromatic dispersion of photonic-crystal fibers. It worth to note that this approach provides the possibility to evaluate approximate magnitude of the chromatic dispersion of dispersion compensating photonic-crystal fibers without extensive numerical calculations, but the main drawback of this method is that the validity of it is restricted only for the certain range of the wavelengths
