文摘

We propose a modified design for a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) filter based on surface plasmon resonance(SPR). The air holes are arrayed in rectangular lattices, while the size and the pitches of holes around the gold-coated holes are different. That can separate the x-polarization and y-polarization of second-order surface plasmon polariton (SPP). The resonance strength of the surface plasmon mode and import of structural parameters of the PCF on the filter characteristics are studied through using the finite element method (FEM). Numerical simulations demonstrate that the thickness of the gold layer, the gold-coated or gold-filled, and the asymmetry around the gold-coated holes have a great effect on the filter characteristics. It is certain to obtain a resonance strength as high as 873 and 771.5 dB/cm at the communication wavelength of 1050 and 1310 nm in x-polarization by adjusting the size and the place of the gold-coated holes, while the loss is extremely low in y-polarization.
