Abstract
We present a tunable photonic crystal fiber (PCF) directional coupler fabricated by a
side-polishing method. The PCF directional coupler was modeled as a typical single-mode
fiber-based directional coupler and analyzed using the improved effective-index method
(IEIM). The characteristics of the PCF directional coupler such as the coupling coefficient
and the coupling ratio were measured and found to be in good agreement with those
predicted by the theoretical model. The PCF directional coupler exhibited an insertion loss
