We experimentally characterized a holey fiber, in which birefringence is induced by two
large holes adjacent to the fiber core. Employing a lateral force method, we measured the …

Localized measurements of group-velocity dispersion and birefringence of photonic crystal
fibers are achieved with a phase-sensitive optical low-coherence reflectometry technique …

The unintentional birefringence induced by the irregular structure in photonic crystal fibers is
analyzed numerically using the plane wave expansion method. The statistical correlations …

High birefringent and low confinement loss of photonic crystal fiber is reported at wavelength
