Electrically switchable, photoaddressable cholesteric liquid crystal reflectors.
We report on the development of photoaddressable cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) mixtures capable of large range color tuning as well as direct on-off electrical switching. The continuously photoaddressable CLC mixtures are based on a high HTP azo-containing chiral material mixed with an off-the-shelf nematic liquid crystal (QL9/E44). By polymer stabilizing the QL9/E44 mixture, it is demonstra...
متن کاملElectrically Rotatable Polarizer Using One-Dimensional Photonic Crystal with a Nematic Liquid Crystal Defect Layer
Polarization characteristics of defect mode peaks in a one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal (PC) with a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) defect layer have been investigated. Two different polarized defect modes are observed in a stop band. One group of defect modes is polarized along the long molecular axis of the NLC, whereas another group is polarized along its short axis. Polarizations of the d...
متن کاملLiquid Crystal Display: Environment & Technology
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology has rapidly become a significant component of modern electronics. It offers solution to the rising need of low power-consuming, space-saving and better display devices thereby, paving the way for significant economic opportunities. However, the environmental impact of the end of life of the LCD products should be judiciously assessed, so that they do not ...
متن کاملOptimization of electrically tunable VCSEL with intracavity nematic liquid crystal.
We optimize the wavelength tuning range of a Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser with an intracavity layer of nematic Liquid Crystal (LC-VCSEL) lasing around 1.3 μm. The tunability is obtained by applying voltage to the liquid crystal layer, which esentially is to vary the refractive index from the extraordinary to the ordinary. We achieve 71.6 nm continuous tuning (without mode hopping) wit...
متن کاملElectrically tunable laser based on oblique heliconical cholesteric liquid crystal.
A cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) formed by chiral molecules represents a self-assembled one-dimensionally periodic helical structure with pitch [Formula: see text] in the submicrometer and micrometer range. Because of the spatial periodicity of the dielectric permittivity, a CLC doped with a fluorescent dye and pumped optically is capable of mirrorless lasing. An attractive feature of a CLC l...
