Modelling nematohydrodynamics in liquid crystal devices
We formulate a lattice Boltzmann algorithm which solves the hydrodynamic equations of motion for nematic liquid crystals. The applicability of the approach is demonstrated by presenting results for two liquid crystal devices where flow has an important role to play in the switching.
متن کاملFrom molecular to continuum modelling of bistable liquid crystal devices
We study nematic equilibria on a square with tangent Dirichlet conditions on the edges, in three different modelling frameworks: (i) the off-lattice Hard Gaussian Overlap and Gay–Berne models; (ii) the lattice-based Lebwohl–Lasher model; and the (iii) two-dimensional Landau-de Gennes model. We compare the modelling predictions, identify regimes of agreement and in the Landaude Gennes case, find...
متن کاملCompressive sensing spectrometry based on liquid crystal devices.
We present a new type of compressive spectroscopy technique employing a liquid crystal (LC) phase retarder. A tunable LC cell is used in a manner compliant with the compressive sensing (CS) framework to significantly reduce the spectral scanning effort. The presented optical spectrometer consists of a single LC phase retarder combined with a single photo detector, where the LC phase retarder is...
متن کاملBiomedical Optical Applications of Liquid Crystal Devices
Liquid crystals exhibit large electro-optic effects which make them useful for a variety of applications as fast, compact, and tunable spectral filters, phase modulators, polarization controllers, and optical shutters. They were largely developed for liquid crystal displays and in the last decade for optical telecommunications, however their application in the field of optical imaging just star...
متن کاملLiquid Crystal Beam Shaping Devices Incorporating Coumarin-Based Photoalignment Layers
1. Abstract Liquid crystal (LC) devices incorporating photosensitive polymers based on coumarin were investigated for laser beam shaping applications. Presently, the OMEGA EP laser system uses pixelated metal beam shaping devices, though their relatively low damage threshold (approximately 0.2 J/cm 2) makes them poor options for long-term usage. LC devices have the major advantages of a much hi...
