| Abstract: | Photonic liquid crystal fibers have already been demonstrated as a promising perspective for creation of new classes of dynamically
tunable optical fiber devices. By combining different geometries of photonic crystal fibers with a variety of different liquid
crystals it is possible to obtain a new generation of fibers with dynamically tunable properties, e.g., transmission spectra,
attenuation or dispersion.
In this paper, tunable birefringence in a commercially available highly birefringent Blazephotonics PM-1550-01 photonic crystal
fiber selectively filled with a low birefringence liquid crystal has been experimentally demonstrated. Theses experimental
results have been compared with simulations based on the multipole method. |
