Abstract:Electrically switchable liquid crystal (LC) waveguide structures for spatial-polarization control of light waves become more and more widespread as optical components for waveguide photonics. The motivation of the work was to design and fabricate miniaturized, low-cost electrically switchable LC waveguides for spatial control of linearly polarized light beams. With the use of new configurations of the spatially modulated electric field applied to planar-aligned sandwich-type LC cells (d = 20 µm thick), the pol… 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.
