We report supercontinuum generation (SCG) in a dispersion-tailored bismuth-glass microstructured optical fibre. Simulations of near-infrared femtosecond pumping predict SCG spanning the near- and mid-infrared. Preliminary experiments show SCG from 0.8 μm to beyond 1.75 μm.

We propose a method for photonic crystal (PC) homogenisation based on the PC's Bloch modes. The resulting quantities may be used in Snell's law; to calculate reflections, transmissions, and propagation; and to locate surface modes.

We demonstrate that cavities with Q>;106 can be designed in defect-free photonic crystals made of photosensitive material (chalcogenide). Both positive and negative refractive index change can result in high-Q cavities.

A CO2 laser at λ = 9.3 μm was used to cleave optical fibers at a given angle. The defects that might occur during the process are explained and resolved. The good surface quality obtained on the cleaved surface is demonstrated by SEM and AFM images.
