Abstract
Tellurite glass fibre has great potential for use in near and mid infrared (mid-IR) optics. The high nonlinearity and its excellent transmission properties in the infrared make it an ideal candidate for many linear and nonlinear optical devices [1]. These can be devices for chemical sensing, nonlinear optical signal processing, Raman amplification or mid-IR continuum generation. Tellurite glasses are also an excellent host for rare earth ions with their low phonon energy. In this paper we report on the fabrication and characterisation of a multiple core tellurite glass fibre. Multiple core fibres can offer new device designs such as arrayed fibre lasers and amplifiers, chemical sensors and bend sensors [2]
