High Extinction-Ratio Polarizing Endlessly Single-Mode Photonic Crystal Fiber

We present the fabrication of a polarizing, endlessly single-mode microstructured fiber with high polarization-dependent loss. The fiber was fabricated by the stack-and-draw method. The resulting structure consists of a pure silica core surrounded by a regular lattice of air holes, in which four air...

Description
Summary:We present the fabrication of a polarizing, endlessly single-mode microstructured fiber with high polarization-dependent loss. The fiber was fabricated by the stack-and-draw method. The resulting structure consists of a pure silica core surrounded by a regular lattice of air holes, in which four air holes in the inner ring have been enlarged. An extinction ratio of 16 dB/m with a transmission loss of 0.9 dB/m was achieved at a wavelength of 1550 nm
