Abstract: Transmission spectra and optical losses of hollow photonic-crystal fibres (PCFs) filled with liquid-phase materials are studied. For hollow PCFs with a cladding period of about 5 μm and a core diameter of about 50 μm, infiltration with water increases optical losses by approximately two orders of magnitude relative to the optical losses of the same PCF before infiltration.
