Large extinction ratio optical electrowetting shutter.
A large extinction ratio optical shutter has been demonstrated using electrowetting liquids. The device is based on switching between a liquid-liquid interface curvature that produces total internal reflection and one that does not. The interface radius of curvature can be tuned continuously from 9 mm at 0 V to -45 mm at 26 V. Extinction ratios from 55.8 to 66.5 dB were measured. The device sho...
متن کاملA quantum optical shutter
A time-dependent dielectric cmedium is used to model a time-varying beam-splitter inside a cavity. The time-varying boundary conditions smoothly evolve from a highly transmitting to a highly reflecting beam-splitter. These approximately correspond to a transformation from a single cavity to a pair of cavities. Quantum field-theoretic calculations show that such a smooth change yields non-singul...
متن کاملLarge area and low power dielectrowetting optical shutter with local deterministic fluid film breakup
A large area (>10 cm) and low-power (0.1–10 Hz AC voltage, 10’s lW/cm) dielectrowetting optical shutter requiring no pixelation is demonstrated. The device consists of 40 lm interdigitated electrodes covered by fluid splitting features and a hydrophobic fluoropolymer. When voltage is removed, the fluid splitting features initiate breakup of the fluid film into small droplets resulting in 80% tr...
متن کاملPolarization preserving ultra fast optical shutter for quantum information processing.
We present the realization of a ultra fast shutter for optical fields, which allows to preserve a generic polarization state, based on a self-stabilized interferometer. It exhibits high (or low) transmittivity when turned on (or inactive), while the fidelity of the polarization state is high. The shutter is realized through two beam displacing prisms and a longitudinal Pockels cell. This can re...
متن کاملHigh-speed acousto-optic shutter with no optical frequency shift.
Acousto-optic modulators are widely used for rapid switching and shuttering of laser beams. In many applications, the concomitant frequency shift is undesirable and must be compensated for elsewhere in the system. Here we present a simple method of achieving rapid laser power switching without an accompanying laser frequency shift. The demonstrated acousto-optic shutter achieves a switching tim...
