“…Selectively liquid-filled PCFs with very low chromatic dispersion value by varying the air-hole diameters and liquid indices [17] as well as the high-index externally and internally liquid-filled PCFs with low confinement loss (CL) by variation in the number of air-hole layers have been reported [18]. However, as far as we know, none of previous studies have given comprehensive insight into new designs of selectively liquid-filled PCFs with various arrangements of air holes in the cladding, which can illustrate the optimal condition for delivery of intensity and also low losses such as confinement loss, while the index of filling liquid is varied.…”

In this study, a Gaussian function is used to approximate the output intensity profiles of the externally liquidfilled photonic crystal fibers with various configurations. By decreasing the diameters of the five outer rings of the proposed photonic crystal fibers, the output intensity values are shown to be considerably increased for all of the studied configurations. A very high output intensity value with very low confinement loss (roughly 0 dB/m) can be achieved at λ = 1.55 µm by an appropriate design for the externally liquid-filled PCF with nanostructure.

“…[6] Later on, Ereman et al show that PLCFs can be used as electrically tunable retarder by changing the refractive index through electric field. [7] With the aid of the selected, filled liquids in the PCFs or in the fusion splicing between the PCFs and other traditional optical fibres, [8][9][10] optical devices with miniaturised size and more functions are obtained. [11][12][13] Most PCFs are filled with high refractive liquids into all of the air-holes in the fibre and only at one end of the PCFs.…”

Sun (2015): Temperature-controllable beam splitter and optical filter based on filling liquid crystal into both ends of photonic crystal fibres, Liquid Crystals,We first presented an optical device of integrated beam splitter and filter based on the photonic crystal fibres (PCFs) with both ends of the air-holes filled with liquid crystal (LCs). All of the air-holes of one end of PCFs were filled with LCs and for the other end two air-holes near the solid core were selectively filled with LCs. As a beam splitter, when the two-filled-holes end was heated, the light power partly transmitted steadily from the central solid core into the two holes filled with LCs after the clearing point. As a filter, when the two-filled-holes end was heated, a peak near 760 nm of transmission spectrum got weak and another peak near 608 nm was maintained. While heating the full-filled end, the peak near 760 nm got strong and the peak near 608 nm got extremely weak. So this optical device could be applied to beam splitter and filter.

“…Compared to the traditional bulk gas cells and liquid cuvettes, fibers with hollow micro-scale cores can provide high intensities over much longer interaction lengths. As such, they can facilitate strong light-fluid interactions that are highly desirable for the development of efficient laser devices [1][2][3][4][5][6], optofluidic sensors [7,8], and nonlinear optical applications [9][10][11][12][13]. Furthermore, by integrating the microcells with telecoms fibers there is potential to exploit material properties that are unique to fluids in a compact and stable geometry for application in wide ranging areas.…”

Integrated hollow-core fibers for nonlinear optofluidic applications

et al. 2013

Abstract:A method to fabricate all-in-fiber liquid microcells has been demonstrated which allows for the incorporation of complex hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HCPCFs). The approach is based on a mechanical splicing method in which the hollow-core fibers are pigtailed with telecoms fibers to yield devices that have low insertion losses, are highly compact, and do not suffer from evaporation of the core material. To isolate the PCF cores for the infiltration of low index liquids, a pulsed CO 2 laser cleaving technique has been developed which seals only the very ends of the cladding holes, thus minimizing degradation of the guiding properties at the coupling region. The efficiency of this integration method has been verified via strong cascaded Raman scattering in both toluene (high index) core capillaries and ethanol (low index) core HCPCFs, for power thresholds up to six orders of magnitude lower than previous results. We anticipate that this stable, robust all-fiber integration approach will open up new possibilities for the exploration of optofluidic interactions.
