Abstract:Experimental results have been given on laser-damage resistance of the liquid crystal modulator with longitudinal operating electrical field. It was shown that laser-damage resistance of the modulator is limited by the ITO transparent electrodes and equals 2.5 -2.9 J/cm2 at 1.06 nm, 'c 15 ns. To improve this parameter we proposed an liquid crystal structure controlled by a transverse electric field in which the ITO electrodes are removed out of the zone intense laser radiation. The main characteristics of this… 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.
