The modal birefringence, dispersion and confinement loss of the fundamental mode are simulated by full vector Galerkin finite element method(FEM) with a perfectly matched layer(PML). The results show that this PCF can keep low confinement loss when the rings of air holes are few. When the wavelength is 1.55 μm , the birefringence, the confinement loss of quick-axis and slow-axis are 1.365×10-3, 0.017 dB/m and 0.051 dB/m, respectively. A new way is proposed to fabricate polarization-mainting fibers with high performance.展开更多

The results of the study show that as the refractive index and thickness of the defect layer increase, the frequency of the defect mode decreases. In addition, the study shows that the frequency of the defect mode is sensitive to the incidence angle, polarization, and physical properties of the defect layer, but it is insensitive to the small lattice loss factor. The peak of the defect mode is very sensitive to the loss factor, incidence angle, polarization, refractive index, and thickness of the defect layer. This study also shows that the peak and the width of the defect mode are affected by the numbers of the lattice period and the loss factor. The results can lead to designing new types of narrow filter structures and other optical devices.展开更多
