| Polarization properties of liquid-crystal core optical fibers have been investigated. The liquid-crystal fiber is characterized by elliptical anisotropic core with low birefringence liquid crystal introduced by capillary axis. The paper presents also initial experimental results of the liquid-crystal fiber in the polarimetric configuration subjected to the influence of selected perturbations. |
