Abstract

An IR-transmitting glass fiber configured to include a holey-microstructured core and a cladding surrounding the core. Glass material used at least in the core is one of the heavy metal oxide glasses, where the glass network former is an oxide selected from GeO2, TeO2, Sb2O3, and Bi2O3, while each and every component of the fiber includes only an oxide glass material and is devoid of any other materials.
