Abstract
Optical anisotropic fibers with straight, zigzag, and loop shapes were fabricated by filling hollow cylindrical lipid tubules with nematic liquid crystals (see Figure). The optical anisotropy of the filled lipid tubules was examined by a polarizing optical microscope. Due to the tunable refractive index of nematic liquid crystals, tubules with liquid-crystal cores have potential application in sensors, photonic devices, and optical communications.
