Abstract :
A highly nonlinear bismuth oxide (Bi2O3)-based glass fibre aiming at applications to all-optical signal processing is reported. This fibre features a high nonlinear coefficient γ of 64.2 W-1 km-1, low propagation loss of a=0.8 dB/m, low splicing loss of 0.48 dB, and high mechanical and chemical durability
