Electrically tunable holographic polymer templated blue phase liquid crystal grating

In this paper,we demonstrate an alternative approach to fabricating an electrically tunable holographic polymer templated blue phase liquid crystal grating.This grating is obtained by preforming a polymer template comprised of periodic fringes,and then refilling it with a blue phase liquid crystal.Compared with conventional holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal gratings,our grating can remarkably reduce its switching voltage from 200 V to 43 V while maintaining a sub-millisecond response time.The holographic polymer templated blue phase liquid crystal(HPTBPLC) grating is free from electrode patterning,thus leading to a lower cost and more flexible applications.     

Grating coupled interferometry for optical sensing

An interferometric sensor based on gratings on a planar waveguide is introduced. The device combines the advantages of known interference-based waveguide sensors with the simplicity of grating couplers. In the presented configuration, two parallel and coherent light beams, laterally separated in the direction of mode propagation, are coupled into a planar waveguide through a grating. One of the coupled beams is phase modulated using a periodically relaxing liquid crystal modulator, resulting in a time varying intensity signal at the end face of the waveguide. Refractive index changes within the waveguide section between the two coupling regions are monitored by observing characteristic changes in the intensity signal.     

Coherent beam amplification with a photorefractive liquid crystal

Coherent amplification of a signal beam by a strong pump beam is observed in thin films of fullerene-doped nematic liquid crystal. Exponential gain constants as high as 2890 cm(-1) with no phase cross talk are achieved at low applied dc bias voltage and pump beam intensity. The underlying mechanism is the electro-optically induced spatially reorientation of the liquid-crystal axis and the resultant phase-shifted index grating required for two-beam coupling.

Spatial light modulator with an over-two-octave bandwidth from ultraviolet to near infrared

We developed a 1-pixel ultraviolet-to-near-infrared (UV-to-NIR) liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) and clarified its phase modulation properties in detail, for the first time to our knowledge. The employed liquid crystal is transparent over 260-1100 nm. A phase modulation capability of 55.8 rad at 305 nm and 14.0 rad at 1000 nm is enough to compensate for UV-to-NIR nonlinear chirped pulses. The LC-SLM driving parameters of a period T=13 ms and an applied voltage V(DD)=7.0 V were determined. The 648-pixel extension of this new device will permit us to realize the high-power generation of single subcycle optical pulses and the direct UV-to-NIR pulse shaping.

SU-8光栅结构中的液晶激光特性

设计制作了SU-8光栅结构的染料掺杂手性向列相液晶激光器件,在器件正面和侧面均实现了随机激光辐射。将激光染料PM597、手性剂S-811、向列性液晶TEB30A按一定比例均匀混合,注入反平行摩擦处理的液晶盒中,器件的下基板通过光掩模法刻蚀出周期为15μm的光栅。利用532 nm的Nd∶YAG固体脉冲激光器作为泵浦源,器件的侧面既在580～590 nm范围内出现了多个离散分立的随机激光辐射峰,FWHM约0.19 nm,又在579～585 nm范围内出现独立的两个激光辐射峰,FWHM约0.19 nm;在器件正面获得了584～590 nm范围的随机激光辐射谱,FWHM约0.17 nm。加热器件至61℃,液晶相变为各向同性态,器件侧面仍出现了波长约590.60 nm、FWHM约0.24 nm的激光辐射峰。分析得出,液晶盒中引入SU-8光栅结构后,光子同时在液晶分子间多重散射和SU-8光栅中布拉格反射获得反馈放大,两种机制相辅相成。器件侧面出现的独立激光辐射峰主要由SU-8光栅布拉格反射提供反馈放大形成,而器件侧面和正面的随机激光辐射峰主要由液晶分子间多重散射提供反馈放大形成。     

Modified super-wide-angle Sagnac imaging interferometer based on LCoS for atmospheric wind measurement

The modified super-wide-angle Sagnac imaging interferometer (MSASII) based on liquid crystals on silicon (LCoS) is proposed as a novel device for the detection of the upper atmospheric wind field. This device employs the phase-only modulation (POM) of LCoS coupled with the MSASII, and can measure phase changes in multi-band emissions without moving mirror. It can be used to replace the conventional Michelson’s interferometer with step-moving mirror device. The optical path difference (OPD) equation of MSASII-LCoS is derived, and the four compensation conditions (field, chromatics, thermal and achromaticity of thermal compensations) are discussed within the scope of wind measurement. The real parameters of LCoS and optical glasses are selected for numerical simulation and analysis. Three aurora lines (732.0, 630.0 and 557.7 nm) are considered, and their phase variations are 3.61, 2.02 and 0.15 fringes at the same incident angle of 3°, respectively. The rate of change of OPD with temperature is the magnitude of 10⁻⁶ cm/K, and the corresponding phase variations are within 0.09 fringes. The accuracy of phase modulation can be 0.614×10⁻² rad when LCoS of 10-bits is used. The novel model MSASII-LCoS shows its advantage for atmospheric wind measurement in the aspects of the overall structure, anti-vibration, operational flexibility and detection accuracy.
