Summary:
In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a novel type of PCF that has two cladding layers with Ge-Doped rods at the inner cladding. The authors numerically show that it is possible to design a single mode PCF withlarge negative dispersion in all telecommunication bands with both large effective area greater than 200μm2 over the whole wavelength above 1.2μm and ultra low splicing loss of ~0.0dB per fusion-splicing to a conventional SMF.
