Abstract
Point-by-point femtosecond laser writing of filaments was used to open high aspect ratio nano-holes transversely through the core of a single-mode telecommunication fiber (SMF-28). On infiltration with nematic liquid crystal, the small 200 nm diameter holes induced strong capillary alignment to facilitate strong birefringence responses when the filament was aligned into second-order (~1 micrometer period) Bragg arrays. Geometric arrangement of the nano-hole arrays provided the unique opportunity of designing customized all-fiber polarization filter inside of traditional single-mode fiber, with properties tunable by device length, azimuthal and chiral orientation of the filament array, and thermo-optic responses.
