Summary: 
A single-polarization single-mode (SPSM) photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based on double-hole unit core is proposed in this paper for application to cross-talk free polarization splitter (PS). Birefringence of the PCF is obtained by adopting double-hole unit cells into the core to destroy its symmetry. With an appropriate cladding hole size, single x- or y-polarized PCF can be achieved by arranging the double-hole unit in the core along the x- or y-axis, respectively. Moreover, our proposed SPSM PCF has the potential to be applied to consist a cross-talk free PS. The simulation result by employing a vectorial finite element beam propagation method (FE-BPM) demonstrates that an arbitrary polarized incident light can be completely separated into two orthogonal single-polarized components through the PS. The structural tolerance and wavelength dependence of the PS have also been discussed in detail.
