| Description |
We study the dispersion and polarization properties as well as the coupling characteristics of suspended core microstructured optical fibers (SC-MOFs) having constant pitch and air-filling fraction with a varying suspension factor (SF) and diverse arrangements of gold-filled holes. The interaction between the core-guided fundamental mode and the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) generated on the surface of the gold-filled hole creates surface plasmon resonance (SPR) at the phase-matching wavelengths. It is observed that such plasmonic SC-MOF designs exhibit very high birefringence and an increased number of complete coupling points for high SF values. In addition, for all the arrangements of gold-filled holes, the coupling occurs for a higher order of the SPP for structures having greater SF. The resonance strength of such SC-MOFs is significantly enhanced and considerable reduction in full width at half maximum(FWHM) bandwidth of the SPR peak is achieved for the x-axis with suitable arrangement of gold-filled holes. The values of the coupling strength and FWHM achieved for the proposed SC-MOF structures are better compared to all the data reported until now to the best of our knowledge. The results suggest that such SC-MOF structures may be beneficial for developing polarizers or in-fiber polarization splitters with improved performance. (C) 2019 Optical Society of America
