In order to analyze the influence of radial pressure on the characteristics of a photonic bandgap fiber in 1550nm transmission band, both the limiting loss and refractive index of the photonic bandgap fiber caused by the radial pressure were calculated by using finite element method (FEM). In addition, the differences between simulation and measurement were also compared and analyzed through experiments. The results show that FEM sensitivity of limiting loss of photonic bandgap fibers varying with the change of radial pressure is 0.00067(dB/km)/(N/m), the change rate of the F parameter with the change of radial pressure is 0.6810-6/(N/m) , and the change rate of the refractive index with the change of radial pressure is 1.010-8/(N/m). The study about transmission characteristics of photonic bandgap fibers under radial pressure will support an experiment foundation for fiber optical sense in long wavelength band applications.
