Design of single-polarization PCF at 1300- and 1550-nm bands

Second European Workshop on Optical Fibre Sensors, Santander Spain, 9-11 Jun 2004The cut-off wavelengths of the two linearly polarized states in PCF can be designed by varying the diameters and pitch of the holes. Simulations show that single polarization operation over a range of up to 100 nm can be realized around 1.3 μm and 1.55 μm bands.Department of Electrical EngineeringRefereed conference pape
