We have theoretically investigated a novel dual-core microstructured photonic crystal fiber, which consist of two cores and a rectangular lattice cladding. The full-vector the plane wave expansion method is applied to analyze its high birefringence and dispersion. The simulation result shows that negative dispersion slope values in C band and high birefringence (10−2) are obtained. The new structure is compact in size and easy to fabricate, making it promising for miniaturized complex communication devices.
