Abstract

We present an integrated tunable liquid-core/liquid-cladding (L2) optical fiber, based on a novel three-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing scheme that enables the production of a tunable circular liquid core located in the center of the channel, regardless of the flow-rate ratio of the cladding and core liquids.
