Abstract
A high-birefringence photonic crystal fiber polarization filter is proposed. The coupling theory is used to explain full and incomplete couplings. The resonance point can be adjusted to the communication band by optimizing the fiber structure parameters. Numerical simulation results indicate that the resonance strength can reach 924.96 and <inline-formula> <math display="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mrow> <mn>710.28</mn> <mtext>  </mtext> <mi>dB</mi> <mo>.</mo> <msup> <mi>cm</mi> <mrow> <mo>−</mo> <mn>1</mn> </mrow> </msup> </mrow> </math> </inline-formula> at the communication wavelength of 1.31 and <inline-formula> <math display="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mrow> <mn>1.55</mn> <mtext>  </mtext> <mi>μ</mi> <mi mathvariant="normal">m</mi> </mrow> </math> </inline-formula> in <inline-formula> <math display="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mrow> <mi>x</mi> </mrow> </math> </inline-formula>- and <inline-formula> <math display="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mrow> <mi>y</mi> </mrow> </math> </inline-formula>-polarized directions, respectively.
