Abstract
Photonic crystal fibers provide increased range of mode-field diameters for passive and active fibers. At present, single mode photonic crystal fibers with mode field diameters ranging from sub-micron to beyond 40 µm have been demonstrated. For a number of applications, it is desirable to introduce polarization maintaining properties of such fibers. In this presentation, we report on the latest development within this area and explain the design and characteristics of different types of photonic crystal fibers with both polarization-maintaining and polarizing properties.
