具有可变电控光栅常数的液晶光栅

针对现有液晶光栅器件存在的光栅常数不能变化、电极尖端放电、边缘效应等缺点,设计了一种可转换光栅常数的液晶光栅。通过控制不同导电区的通断电,使液晶光栅不同区域产生透光与不透光,实现光栅常数的转换;液晶光栅梳状电极端部的圆弧状设计,避免了尖端放电现象,减小了边缘效应的影响。以He-Ne激光为光源,用WGD-8A型组合式多功能光栅光谱仪对所设计的液晶光栅器件进行了测量,结果表明：通过控制导电区的变化实现了光栅常数的转变,在2～3.4 V电压驱动下,具有3种不同光栅常数的液晶光栅的1级衍射光强逐渐增强,且其衍射光强的差值不断增大,达到了预期设计目的。设计的液晶光栅在视差栅栏、光栅尺等方面有好的应用前景。

聚合物网络稳定液晶的电光偏振片

制备了一种散射偏振片,它是由非晶态单体形成的聚合物网络、向列液晶和涂有聚酰亚胺的ＩＴＯ玻璃基板组成。聚酰亚胺被反向平行摩擦,液晶分子则沿摩擦方向取向,并被单体形成的网络所稳定。根据聚合物网络液晶的电光特性可知。入射偏振光束被散射或透射相应地取决于其偏振方向平行还是生趣于基板的摩擦方向。平行时,光的散射强度通过电场可被强烈地调节;垂直时,光的透过率很高,几乎不依赖施加的电场。这种偏振器件具有低的驱动     

Preparation and characterization of vinyltriethoxysilane based inorganic–organic gel glasses dispersed 4′-n-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl nematic liquid crystal

Vinyltriethoxysilane based inorganic–organic glasses dispersed with 4′-n-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl nematic liquid crystal are designed to fabricate a new type of gel glass dispersed with liquid crystal. Scanning electron microscopy shows that the nematic liquid crystal phase, occupying the interconnected cavities, is continuously embedded in the inorganic–organic matrixes. The effect of the nematic liquid crystal weight concentration on the morphology is investigated. The differential scanning calorimetry shows that the nematic-isotropic transition temperature depends on the nematic liquid crystal weight concentration. The Raman spectra show that there are no obvious Raman frequency shifts, compared with pure nematic liquid crystal. The in situ diffuse reflectance FTIR spectra show that the integral intensity of bands of hydroxyls has not varied.     

Electrically controlled switching of light beams in the plane of liquid crystal layer

A simple experimental method and a set-up to control light beams in the plane of liquid crystal (LC) cell is developed. The main idea of the method is the reflection and the refraction of light beams propagating in a plane of LC layer from the boundary, which separates the regions of a liquid crystal cell with different director orientations and refractive indices. This boundary can be produced by electric field applied to the LC layer with a planar homogeneous orientation. The disclination lines that separate the extremely sharp changes of LC orientation can be also used for this purpose. The possibility of discrete deflection of light beam from the initial direction is shown. A computer simulation confirmed that the proposed experimental geometry was most suitable to control intensity of extraordinary rays propagating in the plane of liquid crystal layer.     

Optically tunable plasmonic color filters

We fabricated sub-wavelength patterned gold plasmonic nanostructures on a quartz substrate through the focused ion beam (FIB) technique. The perforated gold film demonstrated optical transmission peaks in the visible range, which therefore can be used as a plasmonic color filter. Furthermore, by integrating a layer of photoresponsive liquid crystals (LCs) with the gold nanostructure to form a hybrid system, we observed a red-shift of transmission peak wavelength. More importantly, the peak intensity can be further enhanced more than 10% in transmittance due to the refractive index match of the media on both sides of it. By optically pumping the hybrid system using a UV light, nematic−isotropic phase transition of the LCs was achieved, thus changing the effective refractive index experienced by the impinging light. Due to the refractive index change, the transmission peak intensity was modulated accordingly. As a result, an optically tunable plasmonic color filter was achieved. This kind of color filters could be potentially applied to many applications, such as complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors, liquid crystal display devices, light emitting diodes, etc.     

Electrically tunable holographic waveguide display based on holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal grating

In this Letter, we present an electrically tunable holographic waveguide display(HWD) based on two slanted holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal(HPDLC) gratings. Experimental results show that a see-through effect is obtained in the HWD that both the display light from HWD and the ambient light can be clearly seen simultaneously. By applying an external electric field, the output intensity of the display light can be modulated,which is attributed to the field-induced rotation of the liquid crystal molecules in the two HPDLC gratings.We also show that this electrically tunable performance enables the HWD to adapt to different ambient light conditions. This study provides some ideas towards the development of HWD and its application in augmented reality.

Angular structure of radiation scattered by monolayer of polydisperse droplets of nematic liquid crystal

We considered light scattering by a polydisperse ensemble of droplets of a nematic liquid crystal. To model light scattering by a monolayer of polymer-dispersed spherical droplets of a nematic liquid crystal with cylindrical symmetry of its internal structure, we proposed a semianalytical modeling method. The method is based on interference approximation of the theory of multiple wave scattering, anomalous diffraction approximation, and effective-medium approximation. The method takes into account cooperative optical effects in concentrated, partially ordered layers and can be used to analyze the small-angle structure of the intensity of scattered radiation in relation to the concentration, size, polydispersity of liquid crystal droplets, orientation of their optical axes, and refractive indices of the liquid crystal and polymer. The obtained relations can be applied to solving direct and inverse problems of light scattering in composite liquid crystal materials using data of polarization measurements. We present graphical results of solving the direct problem for components of the polarization vector of scattered wave. These results illustrate the formation of an angular structure for monolayers with a high concentration of polydisperse droplets of the liquid crystal in the range of small scattering angles (0 < θ _s ≤ 8°).
