The invention discloses a 
photonic crystal fiber, which is characterized by comprising a core layer, a cladding layer and a 
coating layer from the inside to the outside, wherein the cross section of the 
fiber is circular, the core layer, the cladding layer and the 
coating layer are concentric, the core layer is arranged at the innermost layer of the 
fiber, the center of the cross section of the core layer is a circular hole, a plurality of semicircular air holes are uniformly formed in the cladding layer, the cladding layer comprises five cladding layer rings, each of the cladding layer ring is formed by sequentially connecting the semicircular air holes of the same size, the sizes of the semicircular air holes in the cladding layer rings are progressively increased in sequence from the inner ring to the outer ring, convex surfaces of the semicircular air holes in every two adjacent rows of cladding layer rings, the 
coating layer is arranged at the outermost layer, the core layer and the cladding layer are made of 
silicon dioxide crystals or 
silicon crystals, and the coating layer is made of 
acrylate or organic 
silicon resin. The 
photonic crystal fiber disclosed by the invention can transmit a plurality of orbital 
angular momentum modes, the effective refractivity difference of the mode group reaches 10<-3> magnitude order, the confinement loss is low, the nonlinear coefficientis small, and the chromatic dispersion is low.
