We propose a novel polarization-maintaining index-guiding photonic crystal fiber (PCF). It is
composed of a solid silica core and a cladding with squeezed-hexagonal-lattice elliptical air …

This paper presents a novel hydrostatic pressure sensor using high birefringence photonic
crystal fibers (PCFs), featuring an enhanced sensitivity with wide range of detection along …

In this paper, we design a silicon-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) composed of MgF 2
background material to generate supercontinuum spectra in the near-and mid-infrared …

This paper presents the design of an index guided photonic crystal fiber which promises to
yield very large birefringence (~ 2.22× 10-2). Important optical properties, such as …

We report an experimental realization of a highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber as a
result of compressing a regular hexagonal structure. The experimental measurements …

A novel polarization splitter based on photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with two nonidentical
cores is proposed. The two highly birefringent cores are vertically arranged to obtain …

We propose a highly birefringent and dispersion compensating photonic crystal fiber based
on a double line defect core. Using a finite element method (FEM) with a perfectly matched …

Three different types of photonic crystal fibers have been investigated which promise very
large birefringence. The first type fiber is band gap guiding, the second index guiding, while …

In the paper, index-guided triangular PCF with air-core is introduced which guides light by
total internal reflection (TIR) when the air-core is smaller than the air holes in cladding …

Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with elliptical air-holes located in the core area that exhibit
high birefringence, low losses, enhanced effective mode area, and low chromatic dispersion …
