A Compact and Temperature-Sensitive Directional Coupler Based on Photonic Crystal Fiber Filled With Liquid Crystal 6CHBT

A directional coupler structure formed by a nematic liquid crystal (NLC)-filled photonic crystal fiber (PCF) represents a promising configuration in sensing applications. Because of large refractive index difference between the NLC and silica material, the mode coupling between the NLC waveguide and...
