Photonic crystal fiber polarization filters with gold-coated and liquid-filled air holes based on surface plasmon resonances
摘要
In this paper, a single-polarized photonic crystal fiber(PCF) filter for the communication band was proposed. The polarization properties of PCF with a single gold-coated liquid-filled hole have been investigated by the full vector finite element method(FEM). Extensive simulations reveal that near the 1310 nm communication wavelength, the y-polarized core mode exhibits a significantly higher peak loss intensity of 453.46 dB/cm compared to the x-polarized core mode's substantially lower value of 2.068 dB/cm. With a length of 500 μm of the designed PCF, the bandwidths of the crosstalk less than -20 dB can reach to 213 nm. Fiber filters can accurately implement the filtering function for a single communication window. It is expected to play a key role in optical communication, optical sensing and other related fields, providing strong support for technological development and application expansion in these fields.
