Abstract

We investigate a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) which consists of squeezed triangle lattice and elliptical air holes. Birefringence and dispersion properties of this PCF have been numerically estimated by the supercell lattice method. Numerical results show that the birefringence is on the order of 10^-2 over ultrabroad wavelength rang from1.3μm to 1.7μm and birefringence can be reached 1.71×10^-2 at the operating wavelength of 1.55μm. It is also demonstrated that two near-zero dispersion of -1.75(ps/nm/km) (x-polarized mode) and-0.33(ps/nm/km) (y-polarized mode) at 1.55μm can be achieved. Morever, the fluctuations of the dispersion with fiber parameters are very small. The simulation results show that our proposed PCF are robust to fabrication imperfections.
