Abstract
The dispersion and attenuation characteristics of an ARROW (antiresonant reflecting optical waveguide) with and without thin metal layers deposited on the outside of the interference cladding layer are investigated. These thin metal layers improve the polarization-selective performance of the ARROW considerably. A simple analytical expression to calculate the optimal thickness of the metal layer is derived.<>
