We report on the fabrication and the characterization of a design of highly birefringent solid-core photonic bandgap fibers. A form birefringence is obtained by keeping open all interstitial air holes but two diametrically opposite and close to the fiber core. Group birefringence as high as 0.57×10−3 and 0.47×10−3 at 1.1 and 1.55 μm, respectively, are demonstrated in the first bandgap.
