Abstract
Optical devices and a method for manufacturing these devices. One optical device includes a core region having a first medium of a first refractive index n, and includes a cladding region exterior to the core region. The cladding region includes a second medium having a second refractive index nhigher than the first refractive index n. The cladding region further includes a third medium having a third refractive index nlower than the first refractive index n. The third medium is dispersed in the second medium to form a plurality of microstructures in the cladding region. Another optical device includes a plurality of core regions including at least one core having a doped first medium, and includes a cladding region exterior to the plurality of core regions. The core regions and the cladding region include a phosphate glass.
