A novel Single-Polarization Single-Mode Photonic Crystal Fiber(SPSM-PCF)with squeezed hexagonal air holes array is proposed and the regular pattern of its confinement loss characteristics changes with the structural parameters is investigated by using a full-vector Finite Element Method(FEM)with a Perfect Matched Layer(PML)as the boundary condition.Numerical simulation results indicate that the confinement loss of the fast-axis mode is large whereas that of the slow-axis mode decreases with the increase of the number of the air-hole rings Nr
e.g.they are 4.534×10-4
2.236×10-5
9.597×10-6 dB/m at 1.550!m when Nr=6
8
10respectively.As the fast-axis mode is fast attenuated within a short length of fiber
a SPSM-PCF with the slow-axis mode only and the confinement loss less than 0.1dB/km is obtained.
