Microstructured polymer optical fibres (mPOFs) have attracted significant interests, mainly because fabrication techniques have allowed novel structures to be made at low temperature with polymers, especially PMMA (refractive index 1.49) [1]. Recently, thermal and electrical tunabilities of liquid crystals infiltrated silica photonic bandgap fibres have been demonstrated, and various devices have also been developed [2, 3].
