We report on the fabrication and the characterization of a design of highly birefringent solid-core photonic bandgap fibers. A form birefringence is obtained by keeping open all interstitial air holes but two diametrically opposite and close to the fiber core. Group birefringence as high as 0.57x10(-3) and 0.47x10(-3) at 1.1 and 1.55 mu m, respectively, are demonstrated in the first bandgap.
