摘要：
In this letter, highly nonlinear birefringent soft glass photonic crystal fiber is presented and analyzed using the full vectorial finite-difference method. The suggested design has a central hole infiltrated with a nematic liquid crystal (NLC). The reported design offers high birefringence of 0.042 at the operating wavelength 1.55 mu m with low losses for the two polarized modes. In addition, high nonlinearities of 425.5 W-1 km(-1) and 470.8 W-1 km(-1) are achieved for the quasi-transverse electric (TE) and quasi-transverse magnetic (TM) modes, respectively, at the operating wavelength of 1.55 mu m.
