Abstract :
We report a new fabrication approach that combines the benefits of extrusion and stacking, which is capable of realising high-nonlinearity lead-silicate glass holey fibers with tailorable dispersion characteristics. We also present optimised fiber designs offering dispersion-shifted and flattened performance at 1.55 mum
