Switchable reflective lens based on cholesteric liquid crystal.
We demonstrated a switchable reflective lens based on choleteric liquid crystal (CLC) with a plano-convex shape. The plano-convex CLC lens was fabricated by assembling a planar substrate and a concave substrate. The reflective CLC lens exhibits wavelength selectivity and handedness sensitivity like the conventional CLC cell. The plano-convex CLC lens acts as a biconvex lens with the same curvat...
متن کاملA polarizer-free flexible and reflective electrooptical switch using dye-doped liquid crystal gels.
A polarizer-free flexible and reflective electro-optical switch using dye-doped liquid crystal (LC) gels is demonstrated. The electro-optical performances of both scattering and absorption based dye-doped LC gels depend on curing temperatures due to domain sizes of polymer networks. Such flexible electro-optical switch is bendable and trim-able because of the vertical polymer networks and gel-l...
متن کاملSurface-stabilized holography in an azo-dye-doped liquid crystal.
Holograms are recorded by a 514-nm laser polarized parallel to the molecular director in an azo-dye-doped nematic liquid crystal. For some surface treatments, the recorded holograms persist in the dark. For glass surfaces, exposure to light polarized normal to the molecular director erases the hologram. The hologram also vanishes when the sample is heated across the nematic to isotropic phase t...
متن کاملLight-induced rotation of dye-doped liquid crystal droplets.
We investigate both theoretically and experimentally the rotational dynamics of micrometric droplets of dye-doped and pure liquid crystal induced by circularly and elliptically polarized laser light. The droplets are dispersed in water and trapped in the focus of the laser beam. Since the optical torque acting on the molecular director is known to be strongly enhanced in light-absorbing dye-dop...
متن کاملLasing in Dye–Doped Photonic Liquid Crystal Devices
We have investigated the effects of pumping laser’s polarization and incident angles, dye concentration, cell gap, and lasing wavelength on the lasing efficiency of the dye doped cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) devices. These factors impact the lasing efficiency due to the existence of the photon bleaching and quench in the dye molecules, the competition of the optical gain and loss in the med...
