چکیده
We report the design and fabrication of an electro-optical tunable liquid-crystal-based lens and analysis of its performance. The lens obtains its GRIN profile from multi-electrode addressing using a layer with high dielectric constant to extend and smoothen out the horizontal electric field between the large interelectrode distances.

Transmissive spatial light modulators with high figure-of-merit liquid crystals for foveated imaging applications
Unique liquid crystal (LC) spatial light modulators (SLM) are being developed for foveated imaging systems that provide wide field-of-view (FOV) coverage (±60 in azimuth and elevation) without requiring gimbals or other mechanical scanners. Recently, a transmissive-SLM-based system operating in the visible (532 nm) has been demonstrated. The LC SLM development is addressing implementation issu...
متن کاملAdaptive Suppression of Optical Jitter with a New Liquid Crystal Beam Steering Device
This paper presents a new approach to closed-loop control of optical jitter with a new liquid crystal beam steering device. In contrast to conventional fast steering mirrors, where the laser beam is reflected of the controlled mirror surface, the transmissive liquid crystal beam steering device optically redirects the laser beam. The new device has no moving parts and requires low operating pow...
متن کاملSingle Cell-gap Transflective color TFT-LCD by using Image-Enhanced Reflector
By building an image-enhanced reflector above the transmissive region of liquid crystal cell, the transmissive light can follow the similar path with ambient light that both reflective and transmissive portions can achieve high optical efficiency. same response time and color saturation. Furthermore, onk single retardation film is required in this transflective color TFT-LCD, and ambient light ...
متن کاملTransmissive liquid-crystal device for correcting primary coma aberration and astigmatism in biospecimen in two-photon excitation laser scanning microscopy.
All aberrations produced inside a biospecimen can degrade the quality of a three-dimensional image in two-photon excitation laser scanning microscopy. Previously, we developed a transmissive liquid-crystal device to correct spherical aberrations that improved the image quality of a fixed-mouse-brain slice treated with an optical clearing reagent. In this study, we developed a transmissive devic...
متن کاملDesign of a polarized head-mounted projection display using ferroelectric liquid-crystal-on-silicon microdisplays.
It has been a common problem in optical see-through head-mounted displays that the displayed image lacks brightness and contrast compared with the direct view of a real-world scene. This problem is aggravated in head-mounted projection displays in which multiple beam splitting and low retroreflectance of a typical retroreflective projection screen yield low luminous transfer efficiency. To addr...
