Abstract

Step-index optical fibers are widely used waveguides for light transmission. However, non-linear effects are always a severe challenge for optical fibers with increasing power level. This challenge is more severe at shorter wavelengths, where core size has to be much smaller in order to maintain a single mode operation. For an example, for 0.005 core refractive index with respect to cladding, a 10μm core diameter can ensure single mode operation at 1550nm. On other hand, core diameter has to be ~4μm and ~2μm at λ=632nm and 300nm respectively for single mode operation. At these shorter wavelengths, photonic crystal fiber (PCF) and hollow core photonic bandgap fiber (HC-PBGF) have been proposed to address non-linear effects by offering large core diameter and air-core respectively [1-2]. However, such fibers are relatively difficult to fabricate. Moreover, presence of air-holes causes considerable difficulties in cleaving and splicing.
