Abstract

We present the fabrication of tellurite TeO₂-ZnO-Na₂O (TZN) microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) with a suspended core and the characterization of their optical properties. The fibers are designed to develop an infrared supercontinuum generation using a sub-nJ femtosecond pulsed laser at 1.56μm. By pumping a 20 cm long fiber we generate a supercontinuum (SC) spanning over 800 nm in the 1-2 μm wavelength range. For a MOF with a core size of 2.2 μm the zero dispersion wavelength (ZDW) is at 1.45 μm. The effective area of TZN MOF is 3.5 μm² and the nonlinear coefficient is calculated to be 437 W^-1km^-1.
