Through filling the liquid crystal into the air holes of a dual-core holey fiber with a simple structure, the transmission mechanism of the fiber is changed from total internal reflection to photonic bandgap (PBG), and a polarization splitter based on the liquid crystal-filled dual-core PBG holey fiber is investigated. The results demonstrate that, by setting appropriate geometrical parameters, the polarization splitter possesses a short length of 890.5 μm, and its wide bandwidth of ~150 nm almost covers all the S, C, and L communication bands. Besides, it has an excellent electro-interference- resistance property and certain sensitivity to temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
