@article{Poudereux_Cano-García_Alj_Caputo_Umeton_Geday_Otón_Quintana_2017, title={Recording Policryps structures in photonic crystal fibers}, volume={9}, url={https://www.photonics.pl/PLP/index.php/letters/article/view/9-3}, DOI={10.4302/plp.v9i1.700}, abstractNote={Policryps structures of photo-curable adhesive NOA61 and nematic liquid crystal mixture E7 have been created inside selected microchannels of photonic crystal fibers (PCF). The PCF was selectively infiltrated with the photopolymer-liquid crystal mixture for the writing of a holographic tunable grating inside specific holes of the photonic fiber. A 2um pitch grating was successfully recorded in the PCF inner holes with and without collapsing the fiber cladding. The liquid crystal is properly aligned in both cases. <br /> <br /> Full Text: <a class="file" href="/PLP/index.php/letters/article/view/9-3/470" target="_parent">PDF</a> <br /> <br /> <strong>References</strong><ol><li>Q.
