| Abstract: | In the paper we analyze microstructured optical fibers filled with typical nematic liquid crystals, i.e., 5CB and 6CHBT under
influence of external electric field or temperature. We use the modified Mueller matrix method with an additional depolarization
matrix to calculate degree of polarization changes of the light propagating in the liquid-crystal infiltrated microstructured
optical fibers. Preliminary experimental results of light depolarization measurements during propagation in these microstructured
fibers are also presented. |
