DESIGN OF PHOTONIC CRYSTAL FIBER SENSOR
The present work aims to employ the photonic crystal fiber (PCF) for designing temperature and electric field sensors with intended manufacturing characteristics including: high sensitivity, repeatability and low cost by infiltrated with Nematic N-(4`-ethoxybenzylidene)-4-n-butylaniline liquid crystal(EBBA) liquid crystal. The novelty in this work is the use of EBBA that characterized by its ability to align by an external electric field.
