High birefringence single-polarization composite structured anti-resonant fiber
Results in Physics, 2023 We propose a highly birefringent, single-polarization composite structured anti-resonant fiber (CS-ARF). The proposed CS-ARF has an elliptical core, two symmetrically spaced arrays of elliptical air holes, and a six-tube anti-resonant structure.
