TL;DR: In this article, temperature and external electrical field effects on propagation properties of a photonic liquid-crystal fibre composed of a solid-core photonic crystal fibre filled either with a prototype nematic liquid crystal characterized by extremely low (of the order of ~0.05) material birefringence or with a typical nematic pentylo-cyano-biphenyl, PCB (birefurringence of the order 2.2).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the polarization evolution in a fiber by one of the three general formalisms: by the Jones vectors and matrices formalism, by the Stokes vectors and Mueller matrices (SVM) formalism or by the Poincare sphere representation.

TL;DR: Using Rayleigh scattering, the effect of beat length modification in highly birefringent singlemode bow tie fibers under high pressure up to 100 MPa was investigated, and results indicate that the beat length decreases with pressure.

TL;DR: The paper presents the latest experimental results on the influence of temperature, an external electric field, and hydrostatic pressure on propagation properties of the photonic crystal fibers infiltrated with liquid crystals of low and medium material anisotropies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the fabrication and characterization of a highly sensitive temperature sensor by selectively filling the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) 6CHBT into a single void within the photonic crystal fiber (PCF) structure.
