“…The holes are formed in prefrom rods by pulling metal sticks out after finishing polymerization. The detailed schematic of an idealized mould components and set-up procedure may be found in our prevenient research result [15]. The pre-designed elliptical core square hexangular structure PM-PCF prefrom rods was fabricated by in-situ chemical polymerization technology in a home-made mould.…”

A novel structure of highly birefringent polarization maintaining photonic crystal fiber is designed theoretically, the fiber has an elliptical core and five ring square hexagonal structure, with the average hole-diameter, d=2.5ȝm, and the ratio of average hole-diameter and hole-spacing d/ =0.4. The polarization mode field and birefringence are numerically simulated by Beam propagation method based on full vector model. Research results showes that two orthogonal polarized states of the fundamental mode become non-degenerate in the elliptical core PCFs and appear obviously an ellipse and strongly linear polarization. Furthermore, we firstly fabricated successfully the fiber with near elliptical core based on organic macromolecule polymer material by in-situ chemical polymerization technology and the secondary draw-stretching of the preforms. The polarization mode fields and transmission loss are measured, and the results are well accorded with theory, which will be promising to fabricate high birefringence polarization maintaining photonic crystal fiber based on polymer for applications in data communication networks and for the development of range of new polymer-based polarization maintaining fibers components.

“…For polymer preform casting, the necessary chemical precursors (i.e. monomer, initiator and chain-transfer agent) are introduced into a mould that mirrors the required preform hole structure [20][21][22][23]. After the polymer has 'set' the solid structure is removed.…”

A monolithic structured polymer preform was formed by in-situ chemical polymerization of high-purity MMA monomer in a home-made mould. The conditions for fabrication of the preforms were optimized and the preform was drawn to microstructured polymer optical fibre. The optical properties of the resultant elliptical-core fibre were measured. This technique provides advantages over alternative preform fabrication methods such as drilling and capillary stacking, which are less suitable for mass production.
