Right and left circular polarizing color filters made from crosslinkable cholesteric LC-silicones

Polarization-insensitive tunable liquid crystal Fabry-Perot filter incorporating polymer liquid crystal waveplates

“…Furthermore, the direct stacking of layers of crosslinked choloesteric LC-Silicones by shearing the material as a melt between two substrates was suggested, although not experimentally demonstrated, by Häberle, et al as possible compact, low-weight optical filters. 12 In this section, a reliable method of fabricating thin PLC waveplates with predictable characteristics that can easily be incorporated into a Fabry-Perot cavity is described.…”

Angle-Dependent Optical Effects Deriving from Submicron Structures of Films and Pigments

“…Several applications were developed to take advantage of the specific properties of the cross-linkable cholesteric liquid crystalline siloxanes. For example, optical filters can be made of cross-linkable and noncrosslinkable liquid crystalline siloxanes. , Another application is the use of glassy cholesteric materials as meltable paints …”

Multiwave interference phenomena for display applications

“…Recall that coherence matrix determines the polarization state revealing, actually, the correlation between orthogonal components of polarization; the correlation function deter- (9) mines the state of coherence and is related to the spectral width of the beam. For most experimental situations, this (10) provides an adequate description.…”
