Dataset to paper: "Dual-core optical fiber as beam splitter with arbitrary, tunable polarization-dependent transfer function"
Paper abstract:
We present the design of a microstructured dual-core optical fiber with integrated electrodes and filled with liquid crystals. The dual-core structure acts as a directional coupler whose properties depend on the liquid crystal alignment. We show that with four electrodes and two separate driving voltages on the electrodes below 30 V, the beam-splitting properties of the fiber can be controlled independently and continuously for the two polarization components, thus allowing for the realization of any arbitrary 2x2 transfer function, such as tunable polarizers, polarization-dependent attenuators, or polarization-independent beam splitting.
