Near-infrared sensitive photorefractive device using polymer dispersed liquid crystal and BSO:Ru hybrid structure.
A near-infrared sensitive hybrid device, based on a Ru-doped BSO photorefractive substrate and polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) layer, is reported. It is found that the photoexcited charge carriers generated in the BSO:Ru substrate create an optically induced space charge field, sufficient to penetrate into the PDLC layer and to re-orient the LC molecules inside the droplets. Beam-coupli...
متن کاملSilicon-organic hybrid phase shifter based on a slot waveguide with a liquid-crystal cladding.
A highly efficient phase shifter based on the silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) platform is theoretically investigated and experimentally tested. The device consists of a silicon slot waveguide covered with an organic liquid-crystal (LC) cladding. A record-low voltage-length product of U(π)L = 0.085 Vmm can be achieved for high-purity materials where an optimum operation point can be set by a DC bia...
متن کاملElectrically tunable silicon nitride microring resonator with a polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal cladding
Tunable microring resonators (MRs) have attracted more attention due to their wavelength-selective abilities, which can be as optical filters for WDM technique application. So far, many tunable MRs have been demonstrated using electro-optic effect, thermo-optic effect, and nematic liquid crystal (NLC) [1]. Among these methods, the MRs using NLCs as a cladding possesses a wide resonant wavelengt...
متن کاملPlanar photonic crystal waveguide biosensor
We present protein detection using a planar photonic crystal waveguide sensor. Experimental results of refractive index measurements show good agreement with simulations. The sensor has been used for protein detection and showed successful detection with excellent signal to noise ratio of proteins with concentrations around 10 μg/ml (0.15μMolar). Introduction In the past 20 years, the research...
متن کاملTuning of silicon-on-insulator ring resonators with liquid crystal cladding using the longitudinal field component.
We show tuning of the resonance wavelength of silicon-on-insulator microring resonators with liquid crystal cladding. The electro-optic effect of the liquid crystal causes a decrease in effective refractive index for the TE-polarized light in the waveguides. Tuning of the liquid crystal birefringence affects primarily the longitudinal component of the electric field. We achieve a tuning range o...
