Abstract

In this paper we report on fabrication of all-Solid photonic Cladding and Air Core fiber (SCAC fiber). As far as we know it is a first reported fabrication of such PCF. Microrods are made of commercially available lead-oxide F2 glass (SCHOTT Inc.) with a refractive index n_D=1.619, while as background we use a borosilicate NC21 glass synthesized in-house at ITME with a refractive index n_D=1.533. A fabricated fiber has a lattice constant of Λ≈7.49μm and microrods diameter of d≈4.0μm. Air core has a diameter of D_R=3.67μm and total fiber diameter is D_fiber=123.80μm.
