Abstract
We investigate the optical wave guiding properties of subwavelength-diameter liquid-core optical fibers
(LOCFs) that are filled with high-refractive-index liquids. The single-mode condition, modal fields, nonlinear
coefficient γ, group velocities, and group velocity
dispersions are studied theoretically. Compared with traditional silica subwavelength-diameter wires,
subwavelength-diameter LOCFs show unique interesting properties, such as more confined guided-mode electrical fields
and large nonlinear parameters γ in the visible and
infrared regions.
