Dear Duval,
As you said I used newer version of optiFDTD, for example free 32-bit or free 30-days v12.00 optiFDTD.All is ok by designing PCF structure and exporting refractive index exporting, but the problem is when I go to Mode analysis! There is no mode-solver tools with them. By the optiFDTD 8.0, there is a 3D mode solver (as tutorial refered) and I load my refractive index distribution file there, but there is not such a tool with optiFDTD-32 or v.12! may you guide me?
Dear Marek,
Follow your tip, I went to design my PCF with optiMODE. I was going to do it base on OptiMode_User_Reference pdf file (section: OptiMode Tutorial 5- Photonic Crystal Fiber and VB script). but the script given by the tutorial return error and cant made the PCF structure. here is the exact script of the tutorial and at the end is the returned error,

what is wrong with it?
and its Refractive index distribution
Dear Marek,
Here is my layout.
Dear Sethi,
Is it possible to design a photonic crystal fiber in OptiFiber?
