The limiting loss L is a key factor for limiting remote transmission, and in the transmission process, the smaller the loss L is, the better the loss L is, the calculation formula is as follows:

As shown in FIG. 3, the abscissa is wavelength (. mu.m) and the ordinate is confinement loss L (dB/m), and it can be seen that the average confinement loss of these modes is about 4X 10‐9Decibel/meter. Compared with the traditional optical fiber, the confinement loss of the eigen vector mode of the photonic crystal optical fiber with the structure is lower by 3 orders of magnitude. Thus, this particular PCF may find potential application in long-haul fiber-optic communications.
Nonlinear effects can adversely affect the transmission of the fiber, such as pulse broadening. Therefore, the smaller the non-linear coefficient γ is, the better the transmission process is, the formula is:
