| Abstract: | High birefringence and low viscosity isothiocyanate liquid crystal single compounds, and eutectic mixtures based solely on unsaturated rigid core structures, are reported. Extraordinarily high values of figure-of-merit were observed at room temperature for the formulated nematic mixtures. Potential applications of such mixtures for laser beam steering at λ = 1.55 µm using optical phased arrays are emphasized. |
