Abstract
Solid and hollow core polymer photonic crystal fibers (PPCFs) were fabricated by drawing preforms of stacked capillaries made of polystyrene (PS). The PPCFs consist of a solid PS core or a hollow core surrounded by periodic air holes of a hexagonal symmetry running along the length of fiber. We have demonstrated the single mode propagation of light through the solid core PPCF at wavelengths of 1.33 and 1.55 μm.
