Numerical Analysis of the Phase Birefringence of the Photonic Crystal Fibers Selectively Filled with Liquid Crystal
In this work, we present the theoretical investigation of the phase birefringence in a multi-component-glasses photonic crystal fiber, selectively infiltrated with various nematic liquid crystals. We compare the influence of different PCF infiltration patterns on the fiber phase birefringence. The ability to continuously tune birefringence up or down, depending on the direction of LC molecules tilt is also presented.
