Silica-Based Birefringent Large-Mode-Area Fiber With a Nanostructure Core

Nanostructure photonic crystals with two-fold symmetry are introduced into a silica-based fiber core to induce high birefringence between the two nearly orthogonal fundamental modes. We theoretically study and provide our preliminary findings on the birefringence property of such fibers over a large...

Description
Summary:Nanostructure photonic crystals with two-fold symmetry are introduced into a silica-based fiber core to induce high birefringence between the two nearly orthogonal fundamental modes. We theoretically study and provide our preliminary findings on the birefringence property of such fibers over a large wavelength range. A large-mode-area structure with a typical high birefringence in the order of is easily realized.
