Abstract

We propose a novel polarization splitter based on coupled elliptical-hole core circular-hole holey fibers (EC-CHFs). Utilizing the single-polarization nature of the EC-CHFs, in the proposed polarization splitter, two orthogonally polarized waves couple only to different EC-CHFs and the crosstalk-free polarization splitting is realized. In addition, the coupling length for two orthogonally polarized waves can be independently designed and this splitter is easy to design.
