A numerical approach based on the scalar finite element method is applied to analyse the modal properties of photonic crystal fibers having a solid core and a cladding region with either circular or non-circular microstructured holes. A correction which accounts for the polarization effects due to the large refractive index difference between silica materials and air holes is included in the analysis. Numerical results show that the proposed technique is an efficient and accurate alternative to vector ones.
