Abstract
We report the successful fabrication of a new type of dual core fiber, comprising 2 optical cores suspended in air. The cores are sub-micron in size, each held in place by 2 thin glass membranes attached to the cladding. The successful realisation of this fiber should open up a range of interesting applications in a variety of different areas.
