Abstract
A novel equal diameter circular-hole photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with high birefringence is proposed and numerically analyzed by employing the finite-element method. The proposed PCF’s birefringence is 10-3, which can reach 2 orders higher than that of traditional high birefringence fiber, and this equal diameter circular-hole structure reduces the difficulty of the actual drawing process. The effect of different parameters on the birefringence of this PCF is investigated, and the application of the Sagnac interferometer based on fiber filling technology in temperature sensing is studied. The result shows that the high birefringence PCF can be used in both optical communication and optical sensing fields.
