Abstract
Abstract In this paper we present the obtained experimental results for enhancing the parameters of photonic crystal fibers infiltrated with a modified 6CHBT doped with gold nanoparticles. By admixing a special liquid crystalline material we were able to widen the working temperature range of our samples. Doping our liquid crystal mixture with nanoparticles visibly enhances the thermal and electro-optical properties of the infiltrated photonic crystal fibers. Additionally, the use of a specially designed four microelectrode system allowed to decrease voltage. Thanks to the introduced modifications we noticed a significant reduction of threshold voltages (up to 44%), rise times (up to 30%) and fall times (up to 50%).
