We review recent progress in the areas of silica and compound glass based highly nonlinear fibres, highlighting and contrasting the current start-of-the-art, merits, drawbacks and future potential of both approaches.
We report a new fabrication approach that combines the benefits of extrusion and stacking, which is capable of realising high-nonlinearity lead-silicate glass holey fibers with tailorable dispersion characteristics. We also present optimised fiber designs offering dispersion-shifted and flattened performance at 1.55 mum
Only recently, a technique to manufacture optical fibre nanowires with sufficiently low propagation losses for optical applications has been published. Due to the small surface roughness and high diameter uniformity required to achieve low propagation losses, to date the totality of work in the area has focused on the production of silica optical fibre nanowires. Here we report what we believe to...
