This paper describes an exceptionally high birefringent modified slotted core circular photonic crystal fiber (MSCCPCF). At the 1.55 μm telecommunication wavelength, the proposed fiber structure aims to achieve exceptional birefringence performance through the thoughtful placement of air holes and the incorporation of slots. The optical properties of the proposed MSCCPCF are rigorously simulated using the finite element method (FEM). The finite element method simulations show high birefringence of up to 8.795×10^-2 at 1.55μm. The suggested fiber exhibits single mode behavior in the E to L communication bands (Veff < 2.405). Numerous geometric factors and their effects on other optical properties, such as birefringence, beat length (17.62µm) and dispersion coefficient (−310.8ps/(nm.km)) have been meticulously studied. The proposed fiber's viability and potential uses are evaluated by analyzing modal features like nonlinearity (21.76 W^-1km^-1), confinement loss (5.615×10^-11 dB/cm), and dispersion. The proposed fiber structure has potential for use in polarization-maintaining devices, sensors, and other photonic applications requiring high birefringence and tailored optical properties.
