A dual-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with high birefringence, short coupling length and broadband flat dispersion is proposed in the paper. The symmetry of the original symmetric structure composed of hexagonally distributed air holes is distorted by replacing the innermost 12 air holes with 6 elliptical air holes. The characteristics of the dual-core PCF such as birefringence, coupling length and chromatic dispersion are analyzed by tuning its structural parameters. The results demonstrated that the dual-core PCF exhibits simultaneously a birefringence of up to 10-2, a coupling length of 68.178 for the x-polarization and 74.825 for the y-polarization, and a broadband flat dispersion ranging from 1.1 to 1.6. The novel dual-core PCF may find applications in polarization-maintaining fibers and fiber-based polarization beam splitters/couplers with broadband flat dispersion.
