  • Abstract
    The fabrication and characterisation of a highly-nonlinear germanium doped silica based photonic crystal fibre are reported. It exhibits high Kerr and Raman nonlinear coefficients as high as 69.3 W-1.km-1 and 94 W-1.km-1, respectively, with a low attenuation of 17.5 dB/km around 1 m, which leads to a record figure of merit at this wavelength.
