The coupling characteristics of two defect modes in photonic crystal fibers are investigated theoretically by the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The transmission spectrum and eigenmodes of optical wave are found to be very sensitive to the geometrical and physical parameters of the structure, as well as to the relative position of the two defects.
