Towards high-index-glass based monomode holey fibre with large-mode-area

A high-index (n=1.80) glass based holey fibre was fabricated. The conventional capillary-stacking technique was used to make this fibre characterized by a complicated microstructured cladding. Monomode guidance was observed at 800nm in this fibre and the effective mode area Aeff was measured as ~40µ...
