ABSTRACT

Electro-optical and spectral studies of isotropic photonic crystal fibre (PCF) infiltrated with photo-aligned ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) under influence of external electric field are described. Desired alignment of FLC molecules is provided by generation of photo-aligning surface on the inner side of PCF structure. Propagation of light spectrum, as well as light attenuation have been investigated in details. Moreover, the electro-optical response times were measured and analysed.
