光子晶体光纤的问世,使得光子晶体保偏光纤(Polarization maintained photonic crystal fibers,PM-PCF)的研究一直是光通信领域的研究热点。在综述国内外大量文献的基础上,对高双折射光子晶体保偏光纤的传输机理和保偏原理进行分析,评述了高双折射光子晶体保偏光纤的各种设计方案,并进一步对光子晶体保偏光纤的研究现状、应用和发展前景进行了展望。
The coming out of photonic crystal fibers makes the research of polarization maintained photonic crystal fibers become a hotspot in the field of optical communication. Based on summarizing large numbers of research documents about PM-PCFs in domestic and aboard, the light propagation mechanism and polarization maintaining principles of high birefringence PM-PCFs are analyzed. Furthermore, various design schemes are presented. Finally, the present progress, applications, and foreground of development are put forward.
