— We have demonstrated a modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) process for the fabrication of multilayer photonic bandgap fiber based on high-purity silica glass. Sequential growth of layers differing in melting point has been shown to lead to distortion of the layers in the resulting photonic b...
