• Highly nonlinear fiber
• Low confinement loss
• Photonic quasi-crystal fiber
• Flattened dispersion

We proposed a novel photonic quasi-crystal fiber with near-zero flattened dispersion, highly nonlinear coefficient, and low confinement loss by using the dual concentric core structure. By optimizing the structure parameter, the proposed photonic quasi-crystal fiber can achieve a nonlinear coefficient larger than 33 W-1 km(-1) and near-zero flatten dispersion of 0 +/- 3.4 ps/nm/km with a near-zero dispersion slope of 8.5 x 10(-3) ps/nm(2)/km at the wavelength of 1550 nm. Near-zero flattened dispersion and low confinement loss in the ultralow order of 10(-7) dB/m are simultaneously obtained in the wavelength range from 1373 to 1627 nm. Furthermore, two zero dispersion wavelengths can be achieved in a wide wavelength ranger from 1373 to 1725 nm. From the point of view of practical fabrication, the influence of deviation of each air hole diameter within 3% of imperfections on dispersion, nonlinearity, and is discussed to verify the robustness of our design.
