“…[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Liquid crystal core PCFs have also been studied for this purpose. [13][14][15] In other studies, the clad region of a PCF is modified by filling holes near the central fused silica core with liquid so that the group velocity dispersion (GVD) curve will be flat near zero at the wavelength of an input optical pulse. 16,17) This may be equivalent to the change in the size of the air holes near the central core in a PCF as studied theoretically.…”

We generated a supercontinuum from a selectively water-filled photonic crystal fiber (PCF) for enhancement in the visible spectral region using an optical pulse from a Ti:sapphire oscillator at 804 nm. We prepared a 7-cm-long fused silica PCF, where the holes adjacent to the central core were filled with water, using a UV-curable adhesive to close holes selectively before filling holes with water by capillary force. Compared with that of the PCF without water, the group velocity dispersion curve of the selectively water-filled PCF became flatter near 800 nm and the intensity in the visible spectral region of the supercontinuum became higher and more uniform. The spectra simulated using the calculated dispersion properties of the selectively water-filled PCF showed good agreement with the experimental spectra.

“…A novel polarization splitter based on dual-core PCFs with an LC modulation core was investigated [15] . The dispersion properties of LC core PCFs was studied by Karasawa, which can be utilized for various applications including the spectral control of supercontinuum generation [16,17] . Mathews et al have experimentally demonstrated an allfiber variable optical attenuator based on the LC infiltrated PCF [18] .…”

Seven-core photonic liquid crystal fibers for simultaneous mode shaping and temperature sensing

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Through doping liquid crystals into the core region, we propose a kind of seven-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) which can achieve mode shaping and temperature sensing simultaneously in the communication window of 1.1-1.7 μm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the function of seven-core PCFs as temperature sensors is investigated. By using the full vectorial finite element method, the characteristics of the fiber with the temperature, such as the effective mode area, the waveguide dispersion, and the confinement loss, are analyzed. This kind of PCF can be competitive in providing temperature sensing in multi-core PCF lasers.
