In this paper, a novel design of all-solid photonic bandgap fiber with ultra-low
confinement loss is proposed. The confinement loss is reduced remarkably by managing the
number of rods rings, up-doping level, pitch value, and rods diameters. Moreover, the
designed PCF shows ultra-flattened dispersion in L- and U-band. Furthermore, a new
design, based on introducing of an extra ring of air holes on the outside of the all-solid
bandgap structure, is then proposed and characterized. We demonstrate that it significantly
reduces the fiber diameter to achieve negligible confinement loss. The validation of the
proposed design is carried out by employing a two dimensional finite difference frequency
domain with perfectly matched layers.
