文摘A new type of optical fiber is presented here. It consists of a coaxial optical fiber, bounded by dielectric, multilayer and omnidirectional reflecting mirrors. Jones matrix method is used to analyze the influence of the layer number of one Dimensional (1D) photonic crystals on their reflectivity.
