Abstract
This study introduces a Ge20Sb15Se65 chalcogenide-glass-based photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with high birefringence and nonlinearity and ultra-low confinement loss, in which two elliptical air holes are added in the core. The propagation properties of the proposed PCF are investigated in mid-infrared range (3.0–5.0 μm) using the finite element method (FEM). Simulation results indicate that optimizing structural parameters can increase the birefringence and nonlinear coefficient to a maximum of 3.16 × 10−1 and 5937 W−1km−1 (in y-polarization mode), respectively, a significantly low confinement loss reach 10−14 dB m−1 at 3.0 μm wavelength, there can obtain one zero dispersion wavelength in the study band, and the designed structure can be fabricated using available technology. The designed PCF will have promising application in mid-infrared fiber fields, optical communication, super-continuum generation, precision, and nonlinear optics.
