Temperature-sensitive photonic liquid crystal fiber modal interferometer by Milenko, Karolina, Wolinski, Tomasz R., Shum, Perry Ping, Hu, Dora Juan Juan

“…In this paper, we present an experimental investigation of the photonic crystal fiber (PCF) and photonic liquid crystal fiber (PLCF) modal interferometers. The PLCF interferometer is fabricated by infiltrating a liquid crystal (LC) into the PCF and then splicing the effective PLCF between two single-mode fibers (SMF). …”
