Abstract
Using an asymptotic analysis, we obtain an eigenvalue equation for the gene ral mode dispersion in Bragg fibers. The asymptotic analysis is applied to calculate the dispersion relation and the field distribution of TE modes in a Bragg fiber. We compare the asymptotic results with exact solutions and find excellent agreement between them. This asymptotic approach greatly sim plifies the analysis and design of Bragg fibers.
