Multicore fiber (MCF) has a larger mode-area (LMA) compared to traditional single-core fiber, making it easy to get a mode area of more than 3000 µm2 with an optimized MCF structure. Here, a fine-structured 19-core fiber based on chalcogenide glass was fabricated using a combined method involving extrusion, drilling, and rod-in-tube for the first time. The fiber has a minimum transmission loss of 1.8 dB/m at 6.7 µm. When the bending radius exceeds 6 cm, a low bending loss of about 0.6 dB appears, and the experimental data are in good agreement with the simulation results. In addition, the supermode characteristics of the 19-core fiber are analyzed from both perspectives of simulation and experiment, and these results are perfectly in good agreement. We believe it opens a new way to develop high-power and bend-resisting fiber with such kind of multicore structure.
