Abstract :
A high-speed optical transmission experiment was successfully demonstrated in an ultra low-loss polarisation maintaining photonic crystal fibre. The fibre loss and modal birefringence at 1550 nm were 1.3 dB/km and 1.4×10-3, respectively. A 10 Gbit/s bi-directional optical signal was successfully transmitted through the 1.5 km fibre
