In this paper, a fractal photonic crystal fiber (F-PCF) based on the 1st iteration of Koch fractal configuration for optical communication systems is presented. Complex structure of fractal shape is build up through replication of a base shape. Nowadays, fractal shapes are used widely in antenna topics and its usage in PCF has not been investigated yet. The purpose of this research is to compare normal photonic crystal fibers (N-PCFs) with F-PCFs through the simulation and optimization procedure based on the finite element method (FEM). The effective mode index of the fundamental mode is found for different PCF structures. In addition, dispersion properties of F-PCF are numerically calculated and compared with N-PCF.
