A novel structured low-loss broadband Photonic Crystal Fiber(PCF)is proposed
in the inner cladding of which six large air holes and six elliptical air holes are arranged.The fiber properties
such as mode field distribution
working bandwidth
confinement loss and dispersion
are analyzed by using the full-vector Finite Element Method(FEM).The numerical computation results show that this fiber demonstrates the features of low-loss Single-Mode and Single-Polarization(SMSP)at1.40
1
.73μm waveband only when the y-polarization mode exists
the confinement loss is less than 0.1dB/km and the dispersion flatness is 3.3ps/(km·nm).The research results have certain instructive significance to the design of novel high performance SMSP-PCF.
