Abstract
A single-polarization hollow-core anti-resonant fiber (HC-ARF) with an asymmetric cladding and double-layer nested elliptical tube is designed and analyzed. Along the X-axis, the outer elliptic tube with gradually varying wall thickness and the inner elliptic tube with a uniform wall thickness enhance the loss of the X-polarized fundamental mode (FM). In the Y-axis direction, the double-layer elliptic tube with a uniform wall thickness suppresses the loss of Y-polarized FM to improve the polarization loss ratio (PLR). Theoretical analysis reveals that the losses of X-polarized FM and Y-polarized FM at 1 THz are 9.07 dB/m and 2.59 × 10−5 dB/m, respectively, and PLR is 349,318 and greater than 100 between 0.98 and 1.02 THz. The HC-ARF with properties better than similar filters reported recently is a new design for high-performance terahertz-band single-polarization fibers with great application potential.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
