Polarizing and depolarizing optical effects in photonic liquid crystal fibers
The paper describes polarization phenomena occurring in photonic crystal fibers infiltrated with liquid crystals and presents latest experimental results of the influence of temperature, external electric field and hydrostatic pressure on their polarization properties. Also depolarization effects in photonic liquid crystal fiber induced by an external electric field are brought forward.
