Polarization-Insensitive Holey Fiber with Ultra-Small Mode Areas Using a Cross-Slot-Structure Core

Article Preview

Abstract:

A high nonlinear, dispersion flattened hybrid nanofiber with a silicon/silica cross-slot-structure nanocore is firstly proposed and analyzed, which is insensitive to polarization for implementing quasi-TE and quasi-TM fundamental modes transmission due to cross slot effect. Simulation results show that fundamental mode of ultra-small mode effective areas and high nonlinearity at TE and TM polarizations, which are confined in the narrow cross slot by four silicon ribs, can be achieved via this cross sot structure core. Moreover, the cladding of four large-air-holes promotes tailoring the group velocity dispersion (GVD) and enhancing nonlinearity furthermore. Our results indicate that ultra-small Aeff of 0.098μm2 and flat anomalous GVD with less than 13.5 ps.km-1.nm-1 dispersion ripple at C-band are realizable.
