Opt Express. 2013 Feb 11;21(3):3318-23. doi: 10.1364/OE.21.003318.

Abstract

A simple all-solid tellurite microstructured optical fiber which has only one layer of high-index rods in the cladding is proposed and fabricated in the paper. The core and the cladding with the low index are made from the TeO(2)-ZnO-Na(2)O-La(2)O(3) glass, and the high-index rods are made from the TeO(2)-Li(2)O-WO(3)-MoO(3)-Nb(2)O(5) glass. The guiding regime in this fiber can be explained by ARROW model. The fiber can support the near- and mid-infrared light transmitting in the core within the transmission bands while the all-solid silica microstructured optical fiber cannot. When the pump light is outside the transmission bands, the light will transmit in six TLWMN rods.
