Abstract

An original idea of hydrostatic pressure monitoring based on a new kind of anisotropic fibers with a liquid crystalline core is presented. The liquid crystalline-core optical fiber giving a possibility of birefringence control unite the unique advantages of liquid crystals and quality of fiber technology what can be used for continuous pressure monitoring. Preliminary results of experimental studies of light propagation by optical fibers with liquid crystalline cores under hydrostatic pressure conditions are reported.
