Abstract

In this paper, a novel microstructure fiber (MSF) filled with E7 liquid crystal with polarization-maintaining and dispersion compensation characteristics is designed. The fiber is arranged and constructed in a conventional C6v structure, and the inner and outer cores are filled with liquid crystals. The rotation angle of liquid crystal molecules can be converted between 0° and 90° by using applied voltage, to realize dispersion compensation in two polarization directions. Under the external control, the effect of the effect of both polarization-maintaining and dispersion compensation can be achieved in the fiber, and the dispersion-compensation direction can be adjusted. It can not only broaden the research field of MSF and deepen the research depth of MSF polarization-maintaining characteristics and dispersion compensation characteristics, but also provide theoretical conditions for the continuous improvement of fiber communication technology.
