Abstract

Summary form only given. A novel seven-core multicore tellurite fiber (MCTF) is proposed and fabricated in the paper. Each core with high index is made of 70TeO₂-8Li₂O-19WO3-1MoO₃-2Nb₂O5 (TLWMN, mol%) glass and can be considered as a single channel. The background with low index is made of 70TeO₂-20ZnO-5Na₂O-5La₂O₃ (TZNL, mol%) glass. Compared with the single-core tellurite fiber, this fiber has novel chromatic dispersion with two zero-dispersion wavelengths (ZDWs) at 1.86 μm and 2.16 μm.
