Hi-Bi Photonic Crystal Fiber for Broadband Filter Realization Using Copper Microwires
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper presents a highly birefringence (Hi-Bi) photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based single-polarization filter, which consists of copper microwires. Copper is chemically stable and the use of microwires is benefit to fabricate than any metal-coated PCF. The filter characteristics are inspected by the full-vector finite element method (FEM). The proposed filter can filter out y-polarized mode, while the x-polarized mode can be guided. The confinement loss of the y-polarized mode at the wavelength of 1.31 μm is achieved of 696.79 dB/cm, while the x-polarized loss is only 4.34 dB/cm. According to numerical results, 20 dB bandwidth of the proposed filter with a maximum value of crosstalk of 601.37 dB is achieved of 650 nm that range from 1.1 to 1.75 μm. Furthermore, the insertion loss of the guided mode (x-polarization) is as low as 0.142 dB for 1 mm of fiber length. Moreover, by optimizing the structural parameters, it has shown that the proposed filter can be effective at any wavelength at the optical communication window.
