A hybrid guiding mechanism in photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is realized by selectively infiltrating liquid crystal 5CB into a twin-core PCF. Due to the introduction of PBG guiding mechanism into the index-guiding twin-core PCF, the hybrid PCF shows strong temperature responsiveness and thus possesses good potential for sensing applications.
