We analyze the guided modes of photonic crystal fibers. We compare the values of the V ‐parameter obtained using the effective index for the fundamental space‐filling mode with those values obtained by using the effective index of the modes propagating in the photonic crystal fiber. We obtain the condition for single‐mode operation. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
