Abstract

In this paper, we propose and numerically demonstrate a highly birefringent microstructure optical fiber which shows negative dispersion coefficient of about −288 to −550ps/(nmkm) covering S to L wavelength bands and −425ps/(nmkm) at the excitation wavelength 1550nm. This proposed design successfully compensate the dispersion covering S to L communication bands ranging from 1460 to 1625nm along with relative dispersion slope (RDS) perfectly matched to that of single mode fiber of about 0.0036nm−1. Apart from dispersion compensation, the designed MOF offers high birefringence of 2.94×10−2 at 1550nm and better compensation ratio with design simplicity due to circular air-holes in the fiber cladding.
