Study of Birefringence and Mode Field for Hollow-Core Photonic Bandgap Fiber

Article Preview

Abstract:

Since the Appearance of Hollow-Core Photonic Bandgap Fiber (HC-PBF), it was Widely Concerned for its Excellent Characteristics. in Order to Study the Characteristics of the HC-PBF that can be Used in Resonator Fiber Optic Gyros (R-Fogs), the Model Structure of a Polarization-Maintaining HC-PBF was Built and its Performance was Simulated by Using the Finite Element Method (FEM). its Mode Field Distribution and Birefringence Characteristics were Obtained. the Influences of the Air Core and Cladding Structures on the Mode Field Distribution and Birefringence were Simulated and Analyzed Further. the Result Showed that there are both Core Mode and Surface Mode in the Structure we Built. by Adding Scattering Points into the Fiber Core, the Surface Mode can be Significantly Suppressed. by Matching the Size of Core and Air Holes around the Core, a Birefringence up to 8*10-4 were Obtained.
