$Utilising two glasses with a different refractive index and stacked with a specific arrangement has allowed researchers to develop for the first time a multimodal fibre with a parabolic refractive index with transmission up to the mid-infrared and high non-linearity. The spectrum of short pulses of light injected into the fibre massively broadens to span from the visible to mid-infrared. Significantly, unlike in conventional multimode fibres, the light beam remains smooth as the result of self-cleaning dynamics induced by the parabolic refractive index. Such a light source with ultrabroad spectrum, smooth beam and high power finds applications in, e.g., environmental sensing or high-resolution imaging for medical diagnostics.
