| Popis: | A low refractive index multifunctional composite liquid crystalline mixture is proposed to address the issues of in-guide tuning of optical properties. As the standard optical telecommunication line is made of fused silica, signal phase and amplitude modulation using liquid crystal requires that its refractive indices match the refractive index of silica, which is low compared to the majority of commercially available mixtures. In the present work, low molecular mass liquid crystals are mixed with fluorinated additives to adjust refractive index below a critical limit (n |
