TL;DR: To the best of the knowledge, this is the first report of an octave-spanning, all-normal dispersion supercontinuum generation in a non-silica microstructured fiber, where the spectrum long-wavelength edge is red-shifted to as far as 2300 nm.

TL;DR: A broad review of microstructured fiber optics components, including light guides, image guides, multicapillary arrays, and photonic crystal fibers, is given in this article, where the authors discuss fundamental aspects of stack-and-draw technology used at ITME, through design methods, soft glass material issues and parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, a micro-structured fiber made of lead-bismuth-galate glass and pumped in the femtosecond regime with a wavelength of 1540 nm was used for supercontinuum generation.

TL;DR: The host photonic crystal fiber (PCF) was made of the PBG08 high-refractive index glass that is much higher than silica glass index and also higher then both ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices of the majority of LCs, so low-loss and index-guiding propagation is observed regardless of the LC molecules orientation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors optimize the composition of tellurite glass for the manufacture of photonic crystal fibers with a large spectrum of transparency, and the transmission properties of the obtained glasses for the spectral range of 200nm-7μm have been determined by the dilatometer and Leitz heat microscope methods.
