Abstract

The paper discusses application of high-birefringence (HB) fibers as interconnections in liquid crystal logic systems. Since HB fibers can transmit linearly polarized light for a long distance, they are suitable for optical systems which operate only with polarized light. This paper also addresses problems of HB fibers -- liquid crystal combinations used in optical logic as modulators, polarization converters, and logic gates.
