The authors report the realisation of a new design for a large mode area monomode optical fibre. This photonic crystal fibre will guide only a single mode, no matter how large the fibre diameter, provided the shape is kept constant. This is demonstrated with a fibre which has a core diameter equal to approximately 50 free-space wavelengths.
