Abstract

We fabricate highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber with new structure using a stack and draw method. Fabricated fiber has two big air holes, one at each side of the outside air cladding region, leading to core ellipticity during the drawing process. Birefringence of the fabricated Hi-Bi PCF is measured to be $2.29{\times}10^{-4}$ (at 1550 nm).

Stack-and-draw 방법을 사용하여 새로운 구조의 높은 복굴절을 가진 광자 결정 광섬유(highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber, Hi-Bi PCF)를 제작하였다. 제작된 광섬유는 공기구멍으로 구성된 클래딩 외부에 큰 공기구멍을 추가함으로써 광섬유 인출 과정중에 코어와 공기층 클래딩 영역에 비대칭적인 압력이 인가되어 코어가 타원형으로 변형되어 복굴절이 유도된다. 제작된 Hi-Bi PCF의 복굴절은 1550 nm에서 $2.29{\times}10^{-4}$로 측정되었다.
