Fast-Response Liquid Crystals for 6G Optical Communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report two high birefringence and low viscosity nematic mixtures for phase-only liquid-crystal-on-silicon spatial light modulators. The measured response time (on + off) of a test cell with 2? phase change at 1550 nm, 5 V operation voltage, 40 °C is faster than 10 ms. To improve the photostability, distributed Bragg reflector designed to cutoff harmful ultraviolet blue wavelengths. These materials are promising candidates future 6G optical communications.

Fast-response liquid crystals for high image quality wearable displays
We demonstrate two ultra-low viscosity liquid crystal mixtures to enable field-sequential-color wearable displays for low temperature operation, while keeping a wide color gamut. Our mixtures offer ~4X faster response time than a commercial material at 20°C and ~8X faster at −20°C. Other major attractive features include: (1) submillisecond response time at room temperature and vivid color even...
متن کاملLiquid crystals for holographic optical data storage.
A tutorial review is presented to inform and inspire the reader to develop and integrate strong scientific links between liquid crystals and holographic data storage, from a materials scientist's viewpoint. The principle of holographic data storage as a means of providing a solution to the information storage demands of the 21st century is detailed. Holography is a small subset of the much larg...
متن کاملOptical Reorientation in Dye-doped Liquid Crystals
The nonlinear optical properties of liquid crystals received considerable attention in the past decades and were reviewed by various authors. Harmonic generation in liquid crystalline phases and optical reorientation of nematics are examples of nonlinearities studied in detail. The present paper deals with the latter effect, paying special attention to the influence of absorption on the process...
متن کاملNovel Vitrifiable Liquid Crystals as Optical
Due to the spontaneous molecular self-assembly into various mesophases and the associated optical anisotropy, liquid crystals (LCs) have found numerous electro-optical and optoelectronic applications. There are several generic device concepts. In the now almost mature LC display technology, these materials function in the fluid state where an applied field induces molecular reorientation with a...
متن کاملCalculation of Optical Parameters of Liquid Crystals
Validation of a modified four-parameter model describing temperature effect on liquid crystal refractive indices is being reported in the present article. This model is based upon the Vuks equation. Experimental data of ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices for two liquid crystal samples MLC-9200-000 and MLC-6608 are used to validate the above-mentioned theoretical model. Using these ex...
