摘要
A theoretical analysis of the properties of a liquid core waveguide (LCW) formed by a water filled, teflon AF2400 inner coated glass tube is presented. The theoretical analysis is based on numerical FD-BPM simulations and reflectivity calculations of the layer system in the LCW. The improvements due to this inner coating compared to other capillary cells are shown. A teflon AF2400 layer thickness of about 5 mu m is sufficient to confine the optical intensity to the liquid core and thus avoid ally absorption or scattering by the capillary material or any influence of the outside environment.
