obtain its residual chromatic dispersion compensation property in the wavelength range of …

Highly birefringent photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with low confinement loss with ultralow and
ultraflattened chromatic dispersions at wide wavelength band are presented. The transverse …

We investigated a particular design of a highly birefringent PCF with attractive features for
pressure sensing applications. A plane-wave method together with the finite element …
