Slot Spiral Silicon Photonic Crystal Fiber With Property of Both High Birefringence and High Nonlinearity

A photonic crystal fiber (PCF) made of silicon is proposed and numerically optimized with both ultrahigh birefringence and nonlinearity. By introducing an elliptical low-index slot in the core region, one of the orthogonally polarized fundamental modes can be confined in the low-index region due to...
