Abstract
In this paper, a low-loss high-birefringence 7-cell photonic-bandgap hollow-core fiber (PBG-HCF) is designed and fabricated based on the method of surface mode engineering. Within a smooth transmission band from 1472 nm to 1560 nm, a minimum attenuation of 39 dB/km is measured where up to 3.29 × 10−3 group birefringence is achieved. The windowed Fourier transform (WFT) is applied in the analysis of spectral beating measurement results. The wavelength dependence of group birefringence of fundamental and higher-order modes is resolved.
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.
