【摘要】 <正> A novel broadband directional coupler based on an asymmetric dual-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) isproposed.The asymmetry in the fiber is introduced by the enlargement of one air-hole in dual-core PCF.Numericalinvestigation demonstrate that broadband directional coupling with spectral width as large as 370 nm and polarization-dependentloss and uniformity lower than 0.2 and 0.5 dB,respectively,can be achieved.In addition,the proposedfiber shows large tolerance to the variation of the fiber parameters.In particular,the fiber length allows at least 10%derivation from the proposed fiber length of 7.7 mm.更多还原
