Fabrication and experimental demonstration of photonic‐crystal fibers (PCFs) made of TF10 glass are reported. These fibers integrate a high material nonlinearity with dispersion and field‐confinement nanomanagement. A specifically designed array of nanoholes in the fiber core is shown to provide the desired dispersion and nonlinearity properties of PCF modes, allowing efficient frequency upconversion of Cr:forsterite laser pulses through solitonic and four‐wave mixing mechanisms.
