Highly birefringent extruded elliptical-hole photonic crystal fibers with single defect and double defects

Highly birefringent elliptical-hole photonic crystal fibers （PCFs） with single defect and double defects are proposed, which are supposed to be achieved by extruding normal circular-hole PCFs based on a triangular-lattice photonic crystal structure. Comparative research on the birefringence and the confinement loss of the proposed PCFs with single defect and double defects is presented. Simulation results show that the proposed PCFs with single defect and double defects can be with high birefringence （even up to the order of 10^-2）. The confinement loss increases when the ellipticity of the air hole of the PCFs increases, which nevertheless can be overcome bv increasing the ring number or the air holes in the fiber cladding.     

Estimation of Rayleigh scattering loss in a double-clad photonic crystal fiber

In this paper the effect of photonic crystal fiber’s structure parameters on Rayleigh scattering was investigated. Rayleigh scattering loss (RSL) has been numerically estimated by average Rayleigh scattering coefficient based on the empirical relations for \(V\) and \(W\) parameters of double-clad photonic crystal fibers (DC PCFs). The dependence of RSL on the two structural parameters—the air hole diameter and the hole pitch was demonstrated. We have shown that RSL depends on the index profiles because of the different optical power confinement factors in every layer of DC PCF. Using these results, the RSL can be optimized by adjusting the fiber parameters—air-hole diameter as well as the air-hole pitch.     

Research on terahertz photonic crystal fiber characteristics with high birefringence

A new high birefringence photonic crystal fiber is proposed within the terahertz frequency region. It has two types of claddings, the inner is composed of six ellipse air holes arranged in a honeycomb array and the outer surrounded by circle holes. By using the full vector finite element method with anisotropic perfectly matched layers absorption boundary condition, the birefringence, chromatic dispersion and confinement loss of the fundamental mode are evaluated. The results show that the birefringence can achieve 10⁻³ when the wavelength increases from 600 μm to 900 μm. This structure will provide some reference value for the designing of high birefringence terahertz photonic crystal fiber.

Lateral stress-induced propagation characteristics in photonic crystal fibres

Using the finite element method, this paper investigates lateral stress-induced propagation characteristics in a photonic crystal fibre of hexagonal symmetry. The results of simulation show the strong stress dependence of effective index of the fundamental guided mode, phase modal birefringence and confinement loss.

Furthermore, polarization-dependent stress sensitivity of confinement loss is proposed in this paper.

High birefringence and low loss circular air-holes photonic crystal fiber using complex unit cells in cladding

We propose a high birefringence and low loss index-guiding photonic crystal fiber (PCF) using the complex unit cells in cladding by the finite-element method. Results show that the birefringence and confinement loss in such PCF fiber is determined not only by the whole cladding asymmetry but also the shape of the PCF core. The maximal modal birefringence and lowest confinement loss of our proposed structures at the excitation wavelength of λ = 1550 nm can be achieved at 8.7 × 10⁻³ and 5.27 × 10⁻⁵ dB/km, respectively.     

Polarization properties of rectangular lattice photonic crystal fiber

In this paper, polarization properties and propagation characteristics of rectangular lattice photonic crystal fibers with elliptical air-holes are investigated by using the full-vector finite element method with anisotropic perfectly matched layers. Numerical results show that the birefringence of the fiber is induced by asymmetries of the cladding. Moreover, by adjusting its structure parameters, such as the hole pitch Λ, and the air-hole elliptical rate η, we find the optimized design parameters of the fiber with high birefringence (the order of 10⁻²) and limited polarization mode dispersion, operating in a single mode region at an appropriate wavelength range.     

Correlation between the birefringence and the structural parameter in photonic crystal fiber

In order to simply design a highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber (HB-PCF), we numerically simulated the correlation between the birefringence and the structural parameter of photonic crystal fiber with square-lattice or triangle-lattice air-holes by using multipole method. It is shown that the phase birefringence B(λ) and the group birefringence G(λ) can be modulated by the structure parameter of normalized wavelength λ/Λ and the relative air-hole size d/Λ. Numerical results show very high phase and group birefringence of the order of 10⁻². The group birefringence becomes negative in the region where phase birefringence increases with an increase in normalized wavelength that does not appear in traditional highly birefringent fibers.
