Abstrakt: We analyze a new type of photonic crystal fiber which consists of the core and cladding that distinct in topology by tuning the position of air holes in each hexagonal unit cell where the C 6v symmetry is respected. The p-d band inversion between the core and cladding leads to topological interface modes inside the band gap, which can propagate along the fiber with a nonzero momentum in perpendicular to the corss section of a fiber. The helical topological interface modes possess the pseudospin-momentum locking effect inherited from the corresonding two-dimensional photonic crystal characterized by the Z 2 topology. The wave functions for the topological interface modes are analytically studied and compared successfully to the numerical results, enlighting a novel way to use photonic crystal fiber to transfer information.
