Abstract: The influence of the structure of the inner/outer cladding on the slow light characteristics of Brillouin scattering in double-clad As2Se3 chalcogenide photonic crystal fiber is investigated in this paper. In this study, the high-order mode of the sound field is considered when analyzing the influence of the structure of double-clad As2Se3 chalcogenide photonic crystal fiber on the Brillouin gain spectrum. The results coming out from our studies show that the air filling fraction of inner cladding has a great influence on the slow light characteristics. With the increase of the air filling fraction of inner cladding, the main peak of Brillouin spectrum decreases gradually, the second peak increases gradually, and also the time delay increases as a result. The trend of Brillouin gain is similar. The above characteristics are less affected by the change of the air filling fraction of the outer layer. The second peak of the Brillouin gain spectrum rises slightly, while the time delay and gain change are still small. It can be seen that the slow light characteristics of the dual-cladding As2Se3 sulphide photon crystal fiber are greatly controlled by the air filling fraction of the inner cladding, and these characteristics are less affected by the air filling fraction of the outer layer if compared with the inner cladding.
