title: Highly birefringent 98-core fiber.
abstract: We report on the fabrication and characterization of a polarization-maintaining multicore fiber. The fiber has 98 aligned cores, each with a birefringence of ≈2.3×10-4. The beat length, polarization extinction ratio, and polarization orientation are characterized.
