Abstract

The Dirac mode in the hollow core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) traditionally rely on high refractive index glasses with a high air-filling factor. In this paper, the Dirac mode was observed in the modified honeycomb lattice HC-PCFs, which breaks the constraint of refractive index, and can be realized in pure silica glasses for the first time. The band structure of the modified honeycomb lattice was calculated to elaborate the formation process of the Dirac point. The Dirac mode in the HC-PCFs was established at the Dirac frequency outside the bandgaps. In addition, the relationship between the Dirac frequency and the air-filling fraction and the refractive index were also analyzed. This design provides a modified honeycomb lattice HC-PCFs with substantially reduced fabrication effort and expands the application of Dirac mode in the conventional silica-based optical fiber devices.
