Abstract

This paper describes polarization phenomena occurring in photonic liquid crystal fibers (PLCF). The latest experimental results of a phase modulator based on photonic crystal fiber filled with liquid crystals are presented. The main goal of this experiment is to achieve a smooth change of the phase delay between orthogonal components of a mode in the range from 0 to 2 "pi". This kind of phase modulators can be used in new generation polarization controllers.
