Abstract
Polarization filter is a very important optical device with extinction characteristics. Due to the design flexibility of photonic crystal fibers and the high excitation losses of the gold layer, the polarization filter based on the photonic crystal fiber and surface plasmonic resonance effect is widely studied. Considering these, we present a simple and high-performance polarization filter using the finite element method. Numerical simulations show that there is a large difference in energy between the two polarization directions by reasonable adjustment of the structural parameters, the confinement loss in the x-pol direction is less than that in the y-pol direction, which is suitable to realize a broadband polarization filter. When the fiber length is 2 mm, the extinction ratio peak can reach −478 dB, and the bandwidth with the extinction ratio better than −20 dB is 750 nm, which covers communication wavelengths of 1.31 μm and 1.55 μm (1.05–1.8 μm). It also has a low insertion loss of 0.11 dB at 1.31 μm and 0.04 dB at 1.55 μm. In addition, our design has high feasibility in fabrication and better tolerance. The proposed filter with compactness, high extinction ratio, broad bandwidth, and low insertion loss would play an important role in the sensing detection, bio-medical, and telecommunication field.
