Fig.9. Variation of effective index with wavelength
Where ak (k=1,2,3,4,&5) are the amplitude of the
fundamental mode in core k and β is the propagation We also note that the proposed device offers high negative
constant. These outer cores behave like parallel dispersion of -3500ps/nm.km,as shown in Fig.10.This type
of PCFs can also be used as a true time delay line (TTD) and
waveguides and the high dispersion is due to the
Mux/Demux.

In this arrangement the dispersion reaches the maximum The high value of negative dispersion offered by multicore
value for phase matched wavelength = p, given by PCFs can be exploited, to design True time delay line(TTD)

The change in the effective index with wavelength is
very rapid in case of multicore PCF based AWG.This
is shown in Fig.9.
