Hermaphroditic liquid-crystal microlens.
We demonstrate a flat microlens that exhibits hermaphroditic focusing properties. When the input polarization is parallel (perpendicular) to the liquid-crystal directors, the lens exhibits a positive (negative) focal length. To select the proper polarization, we could rotate the polarizer (or the lens) mechanically or by use of an electrically controlled twisted nematic liquid-crystal cell. Det...
متن کاملFast-Response Liquid Crystal Microlens
Electrically tunable liquid crystal microlenses have attracted strong research attention due to their advantages of tunable focusing, voltage actuation, low power consumption, simple fabrication, compact structure, and good stability. They are expected to be essential optical devices with widespread applications. However, the slow response time of nematic liquid crystal (LC) microlenses has bee...
متن کاملDistance dependence of fluorescence enhancement from photonic crystal surfaces
We experimentally verify the near-field nature of the fluorescence enhancement afforded by large area planar photonic crystal resonators. This is done by mapping the fluorescence enhancement factor for a fluorophore as a function of its distance above the device surface and comparing the results to numerical calculations. Experiments show that the decay of the enhancement factor is exponential ...
متن کاملTemperature Tunability of Dielectric/ Liquid Crystal / Dielectric Photonic Crystal Structures
Recently, photonic crystals doped with liquid crystal (LC) material havegained much research interest. In this article new ternary one-dimensional photoniccrystal introduced and studied. The liquid crystal layer of 5CB and 5PCH is sandwichedby two dielectric layers. For the first time, we use four structures SiO2/UCF35/CaF2,SiO2/5CB/CaF2, NFK51/UCF35/NPSK53 and NFK51/5CB/NPSK53. The effect ofte...
متن کاملSpectral Broadening of Ultrashort Optical Pulses in Nonlinear Photonic Crystal Fiber
A variety of nonlinear effects such as self – phase modulation (SPM) lead to spectral broadening of optical pulses. In the case of intense ultrashort pulses, when SPM is accompanied by other nonlinear processes such as stimulated Raman scattering and four-wave mixing, it leads to an extreme spectral broadening referred to as supercontinuum. In this paper, we demonstrate the effects of various n...
