Popis: A highly birefringent dispersion compensating hybrid photonic crystal fiber is presented. This fiber successfully compensates the chromatic dispersion of standard single mode fiber over E- to L-communication bands. Simulation results reveal that it is possible to obtain a large negative dispersion coefficient of about −1054.4 ps/(nm km) and a relative dispersion slope of 0.0036 nm −1 at the 1550 nm wavelength. The proposed fiber simultaneously provides a high birefringence of order 3.45 × 10 −2 at the 1550 nm. Moreover, it is confirmed that the designed fiber successfully operates as a single mode in the entire band of interest. For practical conditions, the sensitivity of the fibers dispersion properties to a ±2% variation around the optimum values is carefully studied and the nonlinearity of the proposed fiber is also reported and discussed. Such fibers are essential for high speed transmission system as a dispersion compensator, sensing applications, fiber loop mirrors as well as maintaining single polarization, and many nonlinear applications such as four-wave mixing, etc.
