Abstract

In this paper, we report our recent successful fabrication of liquid crystalline cored optical fibers, and the observation of several nonlinear optical phenomena with greatly lowered threshold powers. figure shows the experimental set up used in the experimental study of nanosecond laser pulse propagation and backward stimulated scattering effect in a liquid crystalline (LC) fiber. The laser used is the second harmonic of a Nd: YAG at 0.53 mm, with a FWHM of 20 ns. The transverse mode structure of the laser is nearly Gaussian. A beam splitter at the entrance allows the monitoring of both the input and back reflected light, which, together with the transmitted pulse, are recorded by a fast storage oscilloscope.
