Abstract
Photostable and flexible materials transparent at the wide spectral range are necessary for the development of optical fiber units. Solid solutions of silver and monadic thallium halides are the most suitable crystal media for this purpose. The goal of our research was the search of optimum structure for the fibers with a single mode operation and a rather large core diameter. We modelled fiber structures (solid-core, hollow-core, active-core PCF) with various ratio of inserts diameters and increments between the inserts, basing on two crystal systems: AgCl-AgBr and AgBr-TlI. Then we chose the single mode fiber structure and manufactured it by means of extrusion.
