AB  - We study, fabricate and characterize an all-solid polymer composite waveguide 
      consisting of a multicore fiber for single-mode operation down to the visible. 
      The individual cores of the multicore structure are arranged such that they 
      strongly interact, to form the composite core. The behavior and parameters of the 
      multicore geometry are analyzed in order to achieve true single-mode operation. 
      The composite core fiber is fabricated with off-the-shelf 
      poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) and Zeonex 480R polymers and characterized.
