Abstract
We present the wave guiding properties of the proposed ultra-small highly birefringent slot-microfiber. Due to the asymmetrical geometry in the two orthogonal directions and high-index-contrast slot interfaces, birefringence as large as 4×10−2 at 1550 nm can be obtained with microfibers 1 μm in diameter.
