Abstract :
The fabrication of the first microstructured singlemode non-silica optical fibre is reported. Extrusion has been used for the first time to produce the microstructured fibre preform. The final drawn fibre has an effectively air-suspended 2 μm core. Singlemode guidance is observed from 633-1500 nm
