摘要
An all-solid microstructured fiber based on two thermally-matched silicate glasses with a high index contrast has been fabricated for the first time. The microstructured cladding was shown to be essentially unchanged during fiber drawing. Fiber attenuation was measured as 5dB/m at 1.55 mum by the cutback method. High nonlinearity 230 W(-1)km(-1) has been predicted and experimentally demonstrated in this fiber at 1.55 mum. In addition, modeling predicts that near-zero dispersion can be achieved between 1.5-1.6 mum in this class of high nonlinear fiber. (C) 2003 Optical Society of America.
