A holey fiber, which has a zero-dispersion wavelength of less than 700 nm
and operates as single mode under its zero-dispersion wavelength, is
provided. The holey fiber according to the present invention comprises a
core region that is formed at a center of the holey fiber; and a cladding
region, formed at the circumference of the core region, which has a
plurality of holes distributed as triangle lattice around the core
region; wherein the holey fiber has a fundamental mode of less than 700
nm, a higher order mode, and the fundamental mode and the higher order
mode confinement losses of less than 0.1 dB/m and more than 10 dB/m,
respectively, at the zero-dispersion wavelength.
