Abstract

In this paper, a novel photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based on tellurite glass with high birefringence and high nonlinearity is designed. Six small air holes arranged nearly rectangularly are added in the fiber core to form the near-elliptic core. By using the finite-element method with the help of COMSOL Multiphysics software, we investigate and simulate the birefringence, effective mode area, nonlinear coefficient, and the dispersion characteristics. Simulation results show that by optimizing the structure parameters of the core, at the wavelength of 1.55 µm, the birefringence is up to ${5.05} \times {{1}}{{{0}}^{- 2}}$; the nonlinear coefficient can reach a maximum of ${{1896}}\;{{\rm{W}}^{- 1}}\;{\rm{k}}{{\rm{m}}^{- 1}}$; moreover, the zero dispersion points can be obtained around the wavelength 1.55 µm. The proposed structure is easy to fabricate. The advantage of the proposed PCF has potential applications in polarization control, communication systems, and supercontinuum generation.
