Abstract
Optical properties of photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) as well as micro-capillaries infiltrated with a 6CHBT liquid crystal (LC) doped with spherical silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) have been studied. Three different concentrations of Ag NPs dopants were taken into consideration and their presence in the 6CHBT LC was found to modify the spectral properties of the infiltrated PCF. A significant improvement of switching times was observed for the NPs-doped LC-infiltrated PCF. Moreover, the Ag NPs-doped 6CHBT LC inside both micro-capillaries and PCFs was found to reduce the nematic-isotropic phase transition temperature.
