Tailored tellurite-glasses possess excellent thermo-viscous ability and linear/nonlinear optical properties. Here, bringing together the merits of these materials with fiber optic technology, we report on the first tellurite-based core-clad dual-electrode composite fiber made by direct, homothetic preform-to-fiber thermal co-drawing. The rheological and optical properties of the selected glasses allow both to regulate the metallic melting flow and to manage the refractive index core/clad waveguide profile. We demonstrate the electrical continuity of the electrodes over meters of fiber. We believe the drawing of architectures merging electrical and optical features in a unique elongated wave-guiding structure will enable to develop new in-fiber functionalities based on hybrid electric/optic nonlinear effects.Read less <
