Single-Polarization and Single-Mode Hybrid Hollow-Core Anti-Resonant Fiber Design at 2 μm
In this paper, to the best of our knowledge, a new type of hollow-core anti-resonant fiber (HC-ARF) design using hybrid silica/high-index material (HIM) cladding is presented for single-polarization, high-birefringence, and endlessly single-mode operation at 2 μm wavelength. We show that...

| description | In this paper, to the best of our knowledge, a new type of hollow-core anti-resonant fiber (HC-ARF) design using hybrid silica/high-index material (HIM) cladding is presented for single-polarization, high-birefringence, and endlessly single-mode operation at 2 μm wavelength. We show that the inclusion of a HIM layer in the cladding allows strong suppression of <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$x-$</tex-math></inline-formula>polarization, while maintaining low propagation loss and single-mode propagation for <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$y-$</tex-math></inline-formula>polarization. The optimized HC-ARF design includes a combination of low propagation loss, high-birefringence, and polarization-extinction ratio (PER) or loss ratio of 0.02 dB/m, 1.2 <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times \, 10^{-4}$</tex-math></inline-formula>, and >550 respectively, while the loss of the <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$x-$</tex-math></inline-formula>polarization is >20 dB/m. The proposed fiber may also be coiled to small bend radii while maintaining low bend-loss of <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\approx$</tex-math></inline-formula>0.01–0.1 dB/m, and can potentially be used as polarization filter based on the different gap separations and bend conditions. |
