Numerical analysis of photonic crystal fibre with high birefringence and high nonlinearity
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: A four-ring microstructure photonic crystal fibre with a descending air hole ring cladding is presented. Numerical analysis of the structure is done using full vectorial finite element method with perfectly matched layer (PML) boundary condition. It is demonstrated that it is possible to achieve at 1.55 µm confinement loss of 2.767 × 10 −5 dB/m, birefringence of 0.00346 and a nonlinear co-efficient of 41.77 km −1 W −1 . Also, chromatic dispersion realised suggests a tuneable zero dispersion at 0.9–1.1 µm wavelength range.
