Abstract
An electrically tunable liquid-crystal, photonic-bandgap-fiber-device-based, optically fed microwave, true-time delay is demonstrated with the response time in the millisecond range. A maximum electrically controlled phase shift of around 70° at and an averaged true-time delay over the entire modulation frequency range of are obtained.
