A new type grapefruit PCF was developed and the fabrication progress of the PCF was analyzed in detail. In terms of making preform, the special tool which was developed to assist to make preform and it improved the consistency of preform. In terms of drawing fiber, the high-precision minute-pressure control system was developed to control the inner pressure of quartz capillary. A mass of experiments indicates that the homogeneous structure, low-loss and high strength grapefruit PCF can be made when temperature between 1 850℃ and 1 900℃ and pressure between 1 500 Pa and 2 000 Pa. The properties of fiber were measured and analyzed that fiber diameter is 130 μm, coating diameter is 250 μm, mode field diameter is 11.27 μm and the loss is 3.5 dB/km at operating wavelength of 1 550 nm. The test result indicates that the developed grapefruit PCF’s parameter of geometry and optics has reached the demand of the engineered application. Furthermore, it establishes the theoretical foundation of making further development on high sensitivity fiber grating.
