In this paper we present our theoretical approach for the description of the light guidance in photonic liquid crystal fibers. In particular, we focus on the numerical methods allowing for a full implementation of the liquid crystals properties (i.e., including their optical anisotropy and molecular orientation), with a final target in characterizing photonic liquid crystal fibers with accessible computational effort. For this purpose suitable analytical formulae required for a full-vectorial description of the optical modes in photonic liquid crystal fibers have been derived. In addition, computational schemes allowing for numerical implementation of theoretical formulations (with the use of the finite-difference scheme) have been developed, validated and optimized. Their numerical convergence has been checked for different structures, as well as for different input parameters (e.g., grid-size). Obtained results have been compared to those analytically calculated, known from literature and/or got with use of commercial software. Moreover, the implemented schemes have been examined in accordance with experimental tests performed on the photonic liquid crystal fiber of interest.

In this paper we demonstrate the numerical and experimental investigation of the photonic crystal fiber selectively infiltrated with polymer material, that is a silicon oil DC-704. The results are compared with those obtained for fully infiltrated fiber. The influence of the infiltration on light propagation properties, as well as on temperature sensitivity of the fiber are also presented. The infiltration causes the formation of photonic bandgap effect, and in the case of full infiltration the bandgaps shift equal to 50 nm is observed due to the change in external temperature in the range of about 40C (i.e. from 24 to 61°C).

Second Harmonic Generation in AlGaAs Nanowaveguides

EN
In this paper, we investigate semiconductor nanowaveguides (i.e. ridge waveguides with core-widths narrower than 1 μm) intended to act as novel optical light sources through nonlinear wavelength/frequency conversion. In particular, numerical calculations have been performed in order to design suitable photonic devices (fabricated in the AlGaAs/GaAs platform) capable of high efficiency second harmonic generation. Particular interest has been dedicated to the effective conversion of optical signals from 1520-1600 nm (the third telecom window) down to 760-800 nm. We demonstrate that the output wavelength (resulting from modal phase-matching) can be dynamically tuned by proper adjustment of the temperature and/or geometrical parameters of the waveguides. In addition, by changing the waveguide width it is also possible to modify the device dispersion characteristics, giving the possibility to work in the region of anomalous dispersion and thus allowing for the generation of temporal solitons.

Photonic Liquid Crystal Fibers with Polymers

EN
Photonic liquid crystal fibers with polymers constitute a new solution based on liquid crystals and microstructured polymer optical fibers opening up new areas in innovative sensing and photonic devices applications. Compared with their silica-based microstructured fibers, it is easier to fabricate exotic microstructured polymer optical fibers by extrusion or drilling at low temperature; their nonlinearity is potentially stronger, the range of available polymers that may be drawn is more diverse and the biocompatibility of polymers is often better. Liquid crystals due to their attractive properties i.e., the high birefringence, high electro-optic and thermo-optic effects are a very good candidate for microstructured polymer optical fiber infiltration to obtain tunable all-in-fiber innovative photonic devices. The paper will discuss basic properties and possible applications of the polymer photonic liquid crystal fibers that will arise from their high optical tunability with external and internal factors. Current research effort is directed towards two main solutions: photonic crystal fibers and microstructured polymer optical fiber-based structures, both infiltrated with liquid crystals of tailored optical properties.
