Abstract
A novel ultra-bandwidth polarization splitter based on soft glass dual-core photonic crystal fiber (DC-PCF) is designed in this paper, which is analyzed through the finite element method (FEM). The coupling characteristics of the designed DC-PCF can be enhanced by a high refractive index As2S3 core. Numerical results show the ultra-bandwidths of the x- and y-polarization modes can reach to 86 nm and 60 nm as the extinction ratios better than â20 dB and â30 dB at the vicinity of the wavelength of 1.31 μm. The length of the designed soft glass DC-PCF is 52.29 mm and the extinction ratios of the x- and y-polarization modes are â85.57 dB and â56.81 dB at the wavelength of 1.31 μm, respectively. In addition, the designed splitter has a tolerance of ±10 nm in its all structure parameters, which make the design not sensitive to the perturbation during the fabrication process.
