Abstract

The authors have presented two techniques for the implementation of high nonlinearity non-silica fibers with tailored dispersion properties. The authors show that even though both techniques present their own challenges and benefits, all-solid MOFs can achieve similar optical properties to complex HF structures, while providing a more straight-forward route to alleviating excess waveguide losses.
