Abstract
In the paper, index-guided triangular PCF with air-core is introduced which guides light by total internal reflection (TIR) when the air-core is smaller than the air holes in cladding. Properties of dispersion and leakage loss are investigated using finite-element method. The total dispersion curve gets more flattened and leakage loss increases significantly as the air-core diameter increases. High birefringence PCF with elliptical air-core is put forward and the birefringence increases with the ellipticity of the air-core.
