Control of hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber ellipticity by induced lateral tension

Abstract: We describe the fabrication of elliptical hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers (EC-PBGFs). It was shown that the aspect ratio of the hollow core can be controlled by tuning the negative pressure in the space between the intermediate preform cane and outer jacketing tube, and by placing this preform assembly off-center in the furnace, resulting in lateral tension during the final draw. Modal birefringences of fabricated PBGFs with different aspect ratio were measured using a Sagnac loop interferometer. For the e… Show more

“…So we name it panda-shaped PCF (PS-PCF). The PS-PCF was fabricated with the stack-and-draw process in our laboratory [10,11]. The small air holes in the inner cladding and two large air holes in the outer cladding region are 3.74 μm and 15.87 μm in diameter, respectively.…”
