Abstract: | In this paper propagation effects induced by thermal tuning of photonic band gaps (PBGs) in a polymer photonic crystal fiber (Pol-PCF) infiltrated with a specially designed liquid crystal (LC) are observed. When temperature increases PBGs in the transmission spectrum are narrowing and moving towards shorter wavelengths. However, when the temperature approaches the nematic-isotropic phase transition, PBGs are getting wider and shift back towards longer wavelengths. |
