Abstract
A preform sleeving technique is demonstrated that allows the fabrication of single-mode polymer microstructured fiber with the smallest core and hole dimensions yet reported to our knowledge. For a fixed triangular hole pattern a range of fibers is produced by adjustment to the operating conditions of the draw tower. Numerical modeling is carried out for one of the fibers produced with a external diameter, a core diameter of , an average hole diameter of , and an average hole spacing of . This fiber was shown to be endlessly single mode.
