In this study, a novel polarization converter (PC) based on square lattice photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is proposed and analyzed. For each square unit in the cladding, two identical circular air holes are arranged symmetrically along the y = x axis. With the simple configuration structure, numerical simulations using the FDTD analysis demonstrate that the PC has a strong polarization conversion efficiency (PCE) of 99.4% with a device length of 53 μ m, and the extinction ratio is −21.8 dB. Considering the current PCF fabrication technology, the structural tolerances of circular hole size and hole position have been discussed in detail. Moreover, it is expected that over the 1.2∼1.7 μ m wavelength range, the PCE can be designed to be better than 99% and the corresponding extinction ratio is better than - 20 dB . |
