摘要
The fabrication of the first non-silica holey or microstructured optical fibre is reported. The chalcogenide glass gallium lanthanum sulphide was used. Applications of such fibres include optical switching, high power-delivery, acousto-optic devices, air-guiding fibres, fibre sensors, mid-IR devices, amongst others. In addition, holey fibre technology provides an improved route towards fabricating singlemode compound glass fibres.
