Sumario:Abstract In this study, a novel elastic phononic crystal fiber has been presented for the first time. This proposed structure can expand the sonic communications field, significantly. In order to realize the elastic fiber performance, solid–solid phononic crystal has been utilized. The phononic crystal structure operates as cladding in surroundings and central region acts as core of fiber by elimination of rods. Incident acoustic waves with transverse polarization have confined and propagated in the core region of the phononic crystal fiber. Two types of phononic crystal fiber with different core radii have been investigated. Incident elastic waves can confine in the core region with confinement factor higher than 500. Also, longitudinal losses have been achieved low and equal to 0.35 dB/km.
