Abstract
A rigorous analysis of polarisation conversion in a novel design of cascaded bent silica photonic crystal fibre is proposed using full vectorial finite difference method as well as full vectorial finite difference beam propagation method. The influence of different structural geometrical parameters on the polarisation rotator performance is investigated. The numerical results reveal that by a careful adjustment of the structural geometrical parameters and bending radius, nearly a 100% polarisation conversion ratio with nine sections only and low bending losses can be achieved.
