摘要

A kind of double-cladding photonic crystal fiber (DC-PCF) with high birefringence and two zero-dispersion wavelengths is proposed. It is found that the birefringence of DC-PCF with inner cladding air holes pitch 1.0 mu m and diameter 0.8 mu m is 1.001 x 10(-2) in the optical communication band at wavelength 1.55 mu m by the multipole method. It is demonstrated that two zero dispersion wavelengths can be achieved in the optical communication band between 0.8 mu m and 1.7 mu m, and the first zero-dispersion wavelength is in the working wave band of the Ti:sapphire oscillator, which contributes to the frequency conversion of the Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser. PCF with two zero-dispersion wavelengths can make strong power supercontinuum spectral in the near infrared band.
