Fabrication and characterization of fibers with built-in liquid crystal channels and electrodes for transverse incident-light modulation

We report on an all-in-fiber liquid crystal (LC) structure designed for the modulation of light incident transverse to the fiber axis. A hollow cavity flanked by viscous conductors is introduced into a polymer matrix, and the structure is thermally drawn into meters of fiber containing the geometric...
