(a)Ā [36;32.4.3.4] HC-PCF layout. z component of the Poynting vector of the (b) FM, (c) SH and (d) TH with theĀ [36;32.4.3.4] structure. Mode spatial distributions at (e)Ā 1064 nm and (f) 800 nm are also shown. (g) Scattering loss (black dashed curve) and transmission loss of theĀ [36;32.4.3.4] HC-PCF with apex curvatures ofĀ 300 nm (green curve), 450 nm (red curve) and 600 nm (blue curve).
