The paper presents the results of design, manufacturing, and characterization of a hybrid broad band in-line fiber-optic device. It uses nematic liquid crystal as cladding with electro-steering properties in a biconical optical fiber taper structure. Liquid crystal mixtures denoted as 6CHBT and E7 are designed for electric as well as temperature control of electromagnetic wave propagation in a broad wavelength range. The applied taper with 10±0.5 μm diameters has losses lower than 0.5 dB in whole investigated spectrum range. Three kinds of initial liquid crystal molecules’ orientations (parallel, orthogonal, and twist) in relation to the light beam propagating in a taper were applied. The performance of a tuned cladding was studied at an electric field of the range of 0–190 V and the temperature range from 20°C up to 42°C and 59°C for 6CHBT and E7, respectively. The induced reorientation of liquid crystal molecules was measured at a broad wavelength range (550-1550 nm).

Traditional engineering design practice seeks to create reliable systems that maintain a desired minimum performance when subjected to a defined set of impulses. To manage impulses, designers implement techniques to specify systems that are resilient or robust to impulses. Resilient systems perform with degraded capacity when subjected to impulses while robust systems remain unaffected by impulses. In this paper we examine antifragility, a complement to resilience and robustness, to manage the impulse response of complex cyber systems. Where fragile systems fracture when subjected to impulses, antifragile systems become stronger. We discuss why this strengthening characteristic makes antifragility attractive for managing impulse response in complex cyber systems and develop a measure for antifragility that differentiates it from fragility, resiliency and robustness. We then discuss an antifragile cyber system to demonstrate the benefits of antifragility in an impulse-rich environment.
