Selectively closed liquid-filled photonic crystal fibers — •Timo Gissibl, Marius Vieweg, and Harald Giessen — 4th Physics Institute, University of Stuttgart, Germany

In the past few years periodic and nonlinear systems have been subject of many efforts in optics. Therefore many researchers aim to develop all-optical tunable devices. We use glue to close selectively the holes of photonic crystal fibers. Afterwards we use these selectively closed fibers by filling the unblocked holes with highly-nonlinear fluids. With this method we have the possibility to close microstructured fibers with any desired pattern and produce in this way tunable liquid-filled photonic crystal fibers for both supercontinuum generation and nonlinear light propagation in two-dimensional discrete systems.
