Tapered Ho:ZBLAN photonic crystal fiber design

Caption

Three-dimensional schematic and cross-sectional view of a holmium-doped ZBLAN photonic crystal fiber, illustrating the microstructured air-hole cladding, air-hole diameter (dₐ), and pitch (Λ). The tailored geometry enables precise dispersion control and strong nonlinear interaction, supporting efficient self-similar pulse evolution and ultrashort mid-infrared pulse compression.
