Managing Group and Phase Birefringence for Nonlinear Optics in Photonic Crystal Fibers
A novel design of birefringent photonic crystal fibers with stress applying parts permits to manage the wavelength dependence of group and phase birefringence. Applications to vector frequency conversion and soliton polarization instabilities are discussed.
