        Abstract
        Photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with central holes is designed and fabricated by extracting air from the central hole, and the integrated structure can be obtained by achieving the temperature field matching between the preform and furnace. The dispersion of fundamental mode is measured using the Michelson interference method, the phase differences between wave-apexes and vales in the interference spectrum are used to calculate the dispersion value, and the calculation error of dispersion due to the phase information conversion in Fourier-transform is decreased. The experimental result agrees well
with that obtained by the Multi-pole method (MPM)..
