All-glass hybrid fibers for dispersion management [Invited]

Abstract

We present a review devoted to hybrid optical fibers, which combine the properties of conventional total internal reflection and antiresonant fibers and enable dispersion control at wavelengths where the material dispersion of the fiber host optical glass is normal. We discuss the main principles of mode propagation in such structures and show the prospects for their practical application.
