Design of Polarization Splitter via Liquid and Ti Infiltrated Photonic Crystal Fiber

We propose a new polarization splitter (PS) based on Ti and liquid infiltrated photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with high birefringence. Impacts of parameters such as shape and size of the air holes in the cladding and filling material are investigated by using a vector beam propagation method. The resu...
