Abstract

We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that a nanoscale hollow channel placed centrally in the solidglass core of a photonic crystal fiber strongly enhances the cylindrical birefringence (the modal index difference between radially and azimuthally polarized modes). Furthermore, it causes a large split in group velocity and group velocity dispersion. We show analytically that all three parameters can be varied over a wide range by tuning the diameters of the nanobore and the core.© 2010 Optical Society of America.
