In this work, we report for the first time, a simplex index guiding circular PCF (CPCF) structure operating from 1350 nm to 1650 nm wavelength, which exhibits a highly negative dispersion of −13686.5 ps/(nm-km) at the telecommunication wavelength of 1.55 µm. The proposed CPCF exhibits a birefringence of 2.26×10-2, with a low confinement loss of 4.7×10-5 dB/km, which is suitable for ultra-high speed broadband dispersion compensation in long-distance transmission as well as supercontinuum generation, polarization maintenance, and sensing applications.
