A kind of single-polarization single-mode photonic crystal fiber

A kind of single-polarization and single-mode totally internal reflection photonic crystal fiber (SPSM TIR-PCF) is proposed in this paper. It is a PCF structure with elliptical air holes in the cladding and four large holes in the first ring. A full-vector plane wave expansion method is employed to analyze this PCF structure. The numerical results show that this PCF structure can realize an ultra-broad SPSM bandwidth of 540?nm with a confinement loss less than 0.1?dB?km^?1, the broadest bandwidth to the best of our knowledge. Moreover, the structure that we proposed can realize a high nonlinear coefficient.
