RESUMEN
Microstructured polarization beam splitters (PBSs) have attracted much interest in recent years. Here, a ring double-core photonic crystal fiber (PCB) PSB (PCB-PSB) with an ultrashort, broadband, and high extinction ratio (ER) was designed. The effects of the structural parameters on the properties were analyzed by the finite element method, which revealed that the optimal length of the PSB was 19.08877 µm and the ER was -324.257d B. The operating bandwidth for an ER of less than -20d B is 440 nm, and the wavelength range spans the full E+S+C+L+U band between 1,320 and 1,760 nm. The fault and manufacturing tolerance of the PBS was demonstrated for structural errors of ±1%. Moreover, the influence of temperature on the performance of the PBS was determined and discussed. Our results show that a PBS has excellent potential in optical fiber sensing and optical fiber communications.
RESUMEN
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is widely used in photonic crystal fiber sensors. In this work, a photonic crystal fiber sensor based on HE1,1 mode excited SPR is designed and analyzed by the finite element method. The maximum wavelength sensitivity, optimal resolution, and amplitude sensitivity of the optical fiber sensor are 24,600 nm/RIU, 4.07×10-6RIU, and 1164.13RIU-1, respectively, for the refractive index range between 1.29 and 1.39. The sensor has excellent properties and wide application prospects in bimolecular and biochemical sensing, environmental monitoring, food safety, and other fields.
