Abstract

We present a residual dispersion compensating highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based on an octagonal structure for broadband dispersion compensation in the wavelength range 1460–1625 nm. The finite element method with perfectly matched boundary condition is used as the numerical design tool. It has been shown theoretically that it is possible to obtain a negative dispersion coefficient of about −418 to −775 ps/nm/km over the S-, C-, and L-bands, relative dispersion slope (RDS) close to that of single mode fiber (SMF) of about 0.0036 nm⁻¹ at 1550 nm. According to the simulation, birefringence of 2×10⁻² is obtained at 1550-nm wavelength. The variation of structural parameters is also studied to evaluate the tolerance of the fabrication. The proposed octagonal PCF can be a potential candidate for residual dispersion compensation as well as maintaining single polarization in optical fiber transmission system.
