Analysis and Fabrication of Highly Birefringent Liquid-Filled Photonic Crystal Fibers

Polarization-maintaining fibers (PMFs) have been widely studied and discussed. Nowadays, a novel polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PMPCF) is proposed with many advantages, such as the large mode area and the single-mode transmission in a wide frequency range. In this thesis, we propose the birefringent liquid-filled PCF with the liquid asymmetrically infiltrated in the cladding region. The Yee-mesh-based finite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) method is utilized to analyze the birefringent properties of the liquid-filled PCFs. Compared with traditional PMFs, our proposed PCF possesses larger birefringence about 7.1 ¡Ñ 10-3 at 1.55 £gm with useful tunable properties.
In the experiment, we have successfully fabricated the birefringent liquid-filled PCF by using the selective blocking technique. The elliptical far field can be observed for our birefringent PCF. We also demonstrate the experiment setup for estimating the birefringence of our birefringent liquid- filled PCF.
