This thesis describes the development of novel microstructured optical fibres (MOFs),
namely holey optical fibres (HFs), based on a commercial highly nonlinear non-silica glass …

We review our recent progress in the development of lead silicate glass fibers with high

Small-core holey fibers (HFs) can offer tight mode confinement, and are, therefore, attractive
for highly nonlinear fiber applications. However, we show here that confinement loss can …

The layered spiral microstructured optical fiber (LS-MOF) design allows higher nonlinearities
than the most common microstructured optical fibers. Here, we have chosen a highly …

This paper reports on the recent progress in the design and fabrication of high-nonlinearity
lead-silicate holey fibers (HFs). First, the fabrication of a fiber designed to offer close to the …

Holey fibers with small-core dimensions relative to the optical wavelength and large air-
filling fractions offer tight mode confinement and are therefore attractive for highly nonlinear …

We report a new fabrication approach that combines the benefits of extrusion and stacking,
which is capable of realising high-nonlinearity lead-silicate glass holey fibers with tailorable …

We study various fiber designs which incorporate a highly nonlinear liquid, carbon disulfide,
with the aim of designing a structure with the highest possible nonlinearity and at the same …
