LC director and refractive index distribution in a micropore with different LC boundary conditions have been simulated. Splay and bend configurations were simulated in the LC pores with Franck elastic coefficients K 33 /K 11 ratio from 0.5 to 3. For different LC orientation configurations parabolic profiles of radial dependence of the refractive index are obtained with focus distance up to 80 mm that makes it possible for application in different LC devices.
