A highly birefringent polarization-maintaining chalcogenide microstructured optical fiber
(MOF) covering the 3-8.5 µm wavelength range has been realized for the first time. The fiber …

Elliptically birefringent fibre has been fabricated by spinning the preform of a highly linearly
birefringent photonic crystal fibre (PCF) during the drawing process. The resulting Spun …

We propose a holey fiber design to achieve single-polarization single-mode (SPSM)
guidance. The photonic crystal fiber (PCF) has a triangular-lattice with elliptical airholes in …

A photonic crystal fiber with hexagonally latticed circular airholes is designed to deliver
single-polarization single-mode (SPSM) operation over a broad wavelength band. Base on …

In this paper, we report the preparation and properties of a novel chalcogenide photonic
crystal fiber with a high extinction ratio (ER). The Ge 10 As 22 Se 68 preform was fabricated …

This paper discusses the sensing capabilities of the highly birefringent index-guided
photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) such as dispersion characteristics of phase and group modal …

We studied the polarization properties of four photonic band gap fibers with elliptical core
and different cladding geometries. To do so we relied on a fully vectorial calculation method …

We present three constructions of birefringent photonic crystal fibres with increased
sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure. The enhancement of sensitivity was obtained by enlarging …

We review exceptional properties of the photonic crystal fibres enabling sensing
applications of this new class of fibres. First, the sensing capabilities of highly birefringent …

The present paper proposes a novel design for achieving single-polarization single-mode
(SPSM) operation at 1550 nm in photonic crystal fiber (PCF), using a rectangular-lattice PCF …
