Abstract
We propose a novel chirped structure consisting of a low index polymer core bounded by modulated multilayer claddings, to realize an optical field concentrator with virtually zero propagation losses in a wide spectral range, independent of wave polarization. In spite of the absence of the total internal reflection mechanism, properly designed multilayer claddings ensure the achievement of unitary transmittance in a wide spectral range, including the widely used wavelengths for optical communications. Several cladding geometries obtained by varying the thicknesses of the cladding layers are reported and discussed.
