Chan, Kai-Hsiang published the artcileLong-period fiber gratings based on blue phase liquid crystal/polymer composites, Name: Trimethylolpropane triacrylate, the publication is Liquid Crystals (2022), 49(1), 50-58, database is CAplus.
A relatively simple and cost-effective method to realize a novel long-period fiber grating (LPFG) based on blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) composites was proposed and exptl. demonstrated by implementing photopolymerization-induced phase separation (PIPS) through a binary photomask. The BPLC-polymer composite zones were obtained by a process of periodic UV light with phase separation of the BPLC mols. and UV-curable monomer mixture The appearance and optical characteristics of the proposed LPFGs have been studied exptl. Exptl. results show that optimum PIPS process conditions are critical for achieving a reliable LPFG-based fiber device. Compared with the previously reported methods, this new technique for designing and making an LPFG is more cost-effective and highly flexible due to the ease in manufacturing of the grating composite structure in the all-fiber system, which can provide great potential for photonic applications.
