摘要

We study the thermal-induced variance of effective refractive indices (ERIs) and birefringence in several kinds of polarization maintaining fibers (PMF) and carry out numerical simulations by utilizing the finite element method (FEM). Responses under varying temperatures in these fibers are analyzed thoroughly. According to our computational results, hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) exhibit much more stable temperature-dependent ERIs and birefringence among these PMFs.
