Optical properties of a low-loss polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

A low-loss and highly birefringent polarization maintaining photonic crystal fiber has been fabricated. The fiber loss and modal birefringence at 1550 nm were 1.3 dB/km and 1.4×10-3, respectively.
