Abstract
Experimental results of polymer photonic liquid crystal fibers based on commercially available (Kiriama) PMMA and cyclo-olefin polymer (Zeonex 480R) microstructured polymer fibers infiltrated with nematic liquid crystals (2CHBT/8CHBT and PCB) are presented and thermally-tuned photonic band-gap propagation mechanism is observed. These preliminary results suggest, that polymers binding to liquid crystals much easier than silica, can offer new opportunities while using polymer-based photonic crystal fibers.
