title: High birefringence photonic crystal fiber with high nonlinearity and low confinement loss.
abstract: A particular photonic crystal fiber (PCF) designed with all circle air holes is proposed. Its characteristics are studied by full-vector finite element method (FEM) with anisotropic perfectly matched layer (PML). The simulation results indicated that the proposed PCF can realize high birefringence (up to 10(-2)), high nonlinearity (50W(-1)·km(-1) and 68W(-1)·km(-1) in X and Y polarizations respectively) and low confinement loss (less than 10(-3)dB/km at 1.55um wavelength).
