For telecom nonlinear applications a high effective nonlinearity, low group velocity dispersion with a low dispersion slope a short fibre length are the key parameters. We have performed dispersion optimization of PCFs made from selected nonlinear glasses with a solid core and small number of hexagonally arrayed air holes. The effects of fabrication imprecision on the dispersion characteristics for PCF designs are demonstrated numerically and discussed in the context of nonlinear telecom applications.
