Abstract(in English) | Coupling characteristics of photonic crystal fiber couplers (PCFCs) were theoretically investigated. In PCFCs with air hole remaining tapers, we found that a smaller elongation ratio i.e. a stronger elongation is required to obtain optical coupling as an air hole pitch or a ratio of air hole diameter to pitch is larger. In PCFCs with air hole collapsed tapers, it was clarified that an excess loss of the PCFC becomes higher as an air hole collapsed elongation ratio becomes larger. It was also clarified that an air hole remaining PCFC has wavelength-flattened characteristics in extinction ratio compared to an air hole collapsed PCFC. Air hole remaining PCFCs and air hole collapsed PCFCs were fabricated using a CO_2 laser irradiation technique. We could successfully control whether air holes in the PCFC taper were remaining or collapsed by adjusting the irradiated laser power in the elongation process of the PCFC fabrication. |
