This paper carries out a rigorous analysis of supercontinuum generation in an improved highly asymmetric microstructured fiber (MF) design. This geometry, defined simply as D-MF, has the advantage of being produced with a regular stacking and drawing technology. We have obtained birefringence values on the order of 4.87x 10(-3) at the adopted pump wavelength and a significantly smaller effective area when compared to a whole MF, which makes this fiber quite attractive for SCG. Therefore, this D-MF design is a promising alternative for SCG since it provides new degrees of freedom to control field confinement, birefringence, and dispersion characteristics of MFs.
