| The transmission spectrum of a PCF filled with the liquid crystal TM216. The three temperatures shown are around the SmA to N* phase transition temperature. When a 974nm laser was coupled into the fiber, Larsen observed that the fiber had an extinction ratio of 60dB with a switching temperature difference of 0.4°C. (Credit: Thomas Tanggaard Larsen) |
