The effective refractive index of cladding induced by periodic air hole deformation is computed using multipole method, and the rela-tionship between the effective refractive index and the collapse of air-holes is discussed, thereby the modulation expression of effective refractive index is obtained. The grating transmission characteristics are simulated. The results indicate that with the diameter of air-holes increasing from 3.3 ~m to 3.7 μm, the resonance wavelength shows blue-shift, the resonance peak intensifies, and the bandwidth becomes narrow. As the collapse degree of cladding enhances, the resonance wave- length shows red-shift, the transmission increases, and the bandwidth tends to narrow.展开更多
