Abstract

A new simplified structure of highly birefringent chalcogenide As₂Se₃ glass Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) with low confinement loss is designed and analyzed by using fully-vectorial finite element method. The effective indices, confinement losses, birefringence and chromatic dispersion of fundamental polarized mode are calculated in the proposed PCF. It is also shown that As₂Se₃ glass PCF provides lower chromatic dispersion and less confinement loss compared to silica PCF of the same structure and hence such chalcogenide As2Se3 glass PCF have high potential to be used in dispersion compensating and birefringence application in optical communication systems.
