研究了向列型液晶填充带隙引导微结构光纤的衰减特性。该光纤在可见光范围内具有较宽的传输带和适度的衰减。通过电寻址，光纤既可以用作可切换的线性偏振器，也可以用作与偏振无关的快门。在前一种情况下，可以通过利用四电极设置调整电场来控制极化平面。
Results on the attenuation properties of a band gap guiding microstructured fiber filled with a nematic liquid crystal are presented. The fiber shows broad transmission bands and moderate attenuation in the visible wavelength range. By electric addressing, the fiber can be utilized either as switchable linear polarizer or as a polarization-independent shutter. In the former case, the plane of polarization can be controlled by adjusting the electric field utilizing a four-electrode setup.
