Abstract
New polarization properties of photonic bandgap optical fibres are analysed . Exemplified by an analysis of honeycomb-structured photonic bandgap fibre s, strong birefringence is found for modest non-uniformities (deviations fr om the 60 degrees symmetry) in and around the core region. This suggests th e application of photonic bandgap fibres as polarization-maintaining optica l components.
