Determination of optical parameters of a twisted-nematic liquid crystal by phase-sensitive optical heterodyne interferometric ellipsometry.
What is believed to be a novel phase-sensitive optical heterodyne interferometric ellipsometer is set up to characterize a twisted-nematic liquid crystal (TN-LC) by the elliptical parameters of the output polarization state. This ellipsometer presents the advantages of both polarized optical heterodyne interferometry and optical photometry, which introduce a polarization modulation that is capa...
متن کاملNew bistable twisted nematic liquid crystal displays
We have developed new bistable twisted nematic ~BTN! displays that operate between the 2p/2 and 3p/2 twist states and between the p/2 and 5p/2 twist states. Together with the ~0,2p! BTN, this forms a set of all possible transmittive BTNs. Experimentally, it was confirmed that several switching wave forms could be used to switch the BTN from one state to another. Voltages below 10 V are sufficie...
متن کاملNovel Photoaligned Twisted Nematic Liquid Crystal Cell
A novel photoaligned twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) cell is fabricated by one-step illumination with oblique nonpolarized UV light of an empty cell with azo-dye layers coated on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates. If the incident angle is sufficiently large (>75 ), the p-polarization of the light is more pronounced for the bottom azo-dye layer in comparison with that for the upp...
متن کاملTwisted-nematic liquid-crystal pixelated active lens
Liquid-crystal active lenses are classical imaging systems in which a liquid-crystal spatial light modulator is placed in a pupil plane. The modulator controls the phase of the optical wave in the pupil and achieves an arbitrary wavefront shape, that is limited only by the available modulation depth and resolution. The possibility of using a twisted-nematic liquid-crystal television in the pupi...
متن کاملNonlinear properties of waveguides with twisted nematic liquid crystal
Optical reorientational nonlinearity in twisted nematic liquid crystalline planar waveguide is analyzed theoretically. It is shown that optical nonlinearity for guided modes in analyzed waveguides can be approximated by saturation nonlinearity. Predicted nonlinearity is large enough to observe e¤ects like spatial solitons formation with milliwatts of light power. PACS: 42.65.Wi, 42.70.Df
