Abstract

This paper presents a proposal for a high birefringμeμnce photonic crystal fiber (C-PCF) with a doped liquid into two first ring holes, which is analyzed by the finite element method. It is demonstrated that the proposed fiber has a birefringence value of about 2.643 × 10^-2 at wavelength λ = 1.55 µm and temperature T = 25˚C. Also, a high chromatic dispersion of -272 ps/nm/km, an effective area of 1.693 µm², and a confinement loss of 0.058 dB/m for the x-polarization method were obtained at the same wavelength and temperature. The temperature influence on the modal properties has also been studied. We will demonstrate through the result that the fiber we propose can be used in both sensing and chromatic dispersion applications such as flattened dispersion fibers.
