Abstract
Soft glasses such as oxides, fluorides and chalcogenides offer higher nonlinearity, larger refractive indices, and extended transmission windows compared to silica [1]. Combined with the unique ability of solid-core photonic crystal fibre (PCF) to control dispersion, soft glasses have enabled low power supercontinuum (SC) generation in tellurite- [2] and lead-silicate glass PCFs [3-4].
