Gold nanoparticle liquid crystal composites as a tunable nonlinear medium.
We investigate the nonlinearity of a liquid crystal cell doped with gold nanoparticles by considering their selective absorption. Such nonlinearities are promising for optical processing applications and optical limiters. Systems displaying thermal nonlinearities are particularly attractive as the maximum nonlinearity may occur in the absence of an applied field and additionally this nonlineari...
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...
متن کاملNeural network controller for Tunable Liquid Crystal Photonic Device work as Laser Beam Steering Device
In this paper, artificial neural network controller (NNC) was designed and used to adjust and control the work of the laser beam steering device consist of liquid crystals cell and other optical components. The target of the neurocontroller is to guarantee smooth deliver and exactly control the laser beam to a required location via control the liquid crystals cell and the optical components. Ba...
متن کاملTunable - Focus Liquid Crystal Lens
Since liquid crystal (LC) was proposed for making a tunable lens, the LC based zoom lens has been studied extensively for machine vision, photonics, information processing and eye glasses. Various approaches for making LC tunable lenses exists. Among them three methods are presented in this seminar: flat LC spherical lenses, microlenses made of nanosized polymer dispersed LC and Fresnel type sw...
متن کاملLiquid crystal tunable metamaterial absorber.
We present an experimental demonstration of electronically tunable metamaterial absorbers in the terahertz regime. By incorporation of active liquid crystal into strategic locations within the metamaterial unit cell, we are able to modify the absorption by 30% at 2.62 THz, as well as tune the resonant absorption over 4% in bandwidth. Numerical full-wave simulations match well to experiments and...
