New results for chalcogenide fibers based on As-Se-Ge where the optical bandgap is approximately twice the communication photon energies results in Kerr and Raman nonlinearities over 500 times the nonlinearities of silica. These very high nonlinearity fibers could provide a new generation of nonlinear optical devices.
