    (a) Cross section structure of the six-fold photonic quasicrystal (the origin O of the coordinate system OXY is set at the center of the fiber core); (b) the cross section structure of HC-PQF.
    Mode field distribution of HC-PQF: (a) direction of X polarization; (b) direction of Y polarization; (c) the effective refractive index of the X and Y polarization modes, and the corresponding birefringence.
    Birefringence of HC-PQF under different d1 values filled with air.
    When d1=2.17 μm, the effect of filling ratio on birefringence.
    When d/Λ=0.910 and d1=2.17 μm, the effect of changing the distance r between the d2 small air hole and the fiber core on birefringence.
    d/Λ=0.910, d1=2.17 μm, r=1.50Λ, changing the core filling gas: (a) the relationship between mode field area and wavelength, (b) the relationship between nonlinear coefficient and wavelength.
    Influence of the diameter of the hollow core on dispersion characteristics with d/Λ=0.91 and r=1.50Λ.
