Abstract:Polarization handling using an external source is highly desirable in applied optics and photonics to increase the degree of freedom of an optical system. Here we report an electrically controlled polarization beam splitter (PBS) by sandwiching the nematic liquid crystal (LC) between two equilateral prisms. The presented LC-PBS is operated in two different modes: non-splitting mode and polarization splitting … 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.
