A novel structure of a polarization-independent and electronically tunable Fabry-Perot interferometer is proposed. It consists of double layers of homogeneously aligned liquid-crystal films with an orthogonal buffing direction. Both theoretical and experimental results show that a pure resonant wavelength with excellent polarization-independent properties, was obtained. Our devices demonstrate power fluctuations of less than 0.5 dB and extinction ratios of up to 7 dB.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
