Abstract

In order to make the direct transmission more effective, we have intended an octagonal shape cladding design in this paper. The minimum resultant effective material loss obtained from our proposed photonic crystal fiber is 0.007 cm−1 at 0.5 THz is very effective. The proposed design gives an ultra-high birefringence of 0.06 with an effective area of about 4 × 10−6 m2, a core power fraction of 70% for 290 µm core diameter with a core porosity of 80% at 1.6 THz frequency and closely zero flattened dispersion of variation of 0.3 ± 0.1 ps/THz/cm at a wide frequency range of 0.7–2.1 THz.
