Abstract
A novel single-polarization single-mode hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber with thin slab waveguide (TSW) was designed and simulated. Single-polarization guidance is achieved by the high loss of a polarized fundamental mode (FM) induced by mode coupling with a higher-order TE/TM mode of TSW and low loss of another polarized FM. We achieve a polarization loss ratio ∼ 46.9 dB, birefringence Δn ∼ 2.4 × 10-4, loss ∼ 35.9 dB/km and minimum higher-order mode extinction ratio > 15 dB. Moreover, the performance could be maintained when the guidance wavelength λ = 1.44 ∼ 1.56 µm and bending radius rc > 9 mm. The proposed model will be suitable for application as resonator sensing paths of miniaturized resonator fiber optic gyroscopes, high-performance interferometers, fiber lasers, frequency metrology, quantum communications, and laser-based gas sensing, etc.
