Abstract:In this paper we demonstrate nonlinear optical properties of a channel waveguide made of E7 nematic liquid crystal infiltrated in a SiO 2 /Si V-groove. Light in C-Band (1530C-Band ( -1565, fiber coupled to the core of the liquid crystal waveguide, was optically modulated by the optical beam itself, with a power below 25 mW. A bias voltage was applied to induce a liquid crystal orientation over the Freedericksz threshold and a further director reorientation was obtained by increasing the optical beam. The eff… Show more
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.
