  • Abstract
    This paper reviews recent progress in the fabrication of soft glass microstructured optical fibers with nanowire core sizes, with nanoscale holes in the fiber core itself and with large mode areas. We demonstrate the potential of these fibers for a wide range of applications including high optical nonlinearity, bio/chemical sensing, high-resolution imaging, mid-infrared high power generation and delivery.
