Based on a full-wave formulation, a vector boundary element method (VBEM) is proposed to model the photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) (microstructured fibers). The accuracy and efficiency of the approach are confirmed by comparing the results calculated with those in previous literatures. With employing the VBEM, the guiding characteristics, including the effective indexes, vector mode patterns, and the polarization properties of the PCFs are investigated. There polarization characteristics of the PCFs with elliptical air holes (EPCFs) and the one ring air-hole EPCF embedded in the step-index core are studied and discussed. In addition, based on the VBEM formulations, a novel and efficient numerical approach to calculate the dispersion parameters of the PCFs is also proposed. The effect of the PCF geometrical structure on the group velocity dispersion property is reviewed, and then the one-ring defect and two-ring defect PCFs are studied and designed for the ultra-flattened dispersion applications. As an example, a four-ring (two-ring defect) PCF with flattened dispersion of ¡Ó0.25 ps/km/nm from 1.295£gm to 1.725£gm wavelength is numerically demonstrated.
