Abstract

A highly nonlinear bismuth oxide (Bi₂O₃)-based glass fibre aiming at applications to all-optical signal processing is reported. This fibre features a high nonlinear coefficient γ of 64.2 W⁻¹ km⁻¹, low propagation loss of α=0.8 dB/m, low splicing loss of 0.48 dB, and high mechanical and chemical durability.
