✦ Synopsis


Fabrication and experimental demonstration of
photonic-crystal fibers (PCFs) made of TF10 glass are reported.
These fibers integrate a high material nonlinearity with
dispersion and field-confinement nanomanagement. A specifically
designed array of nanoholes in the fiber core is shown to provide
the desired dispersion and nonlinearity properties of PCF modes,
allowing efficient frequency upconversion of Cr:forsterite laser
pulses through solitonic and four-wave mixing mechanisms.
