Gold nanoparticle liquid crystal composites as a tunable nonlinear medium.
We investigate the nonlinearity of a liquid crystal cell doped with gold nanoparticles by considering their selective absorption. Such nonlinearities are promising for optical processing applications and optical limiters. Systems displaying thermal nonlinearities are particularly attractive as the maximum nonlinearity may occur in the absence of an applied field and additionally this nonlineari...

متن کاملTunable optical metamaterial based on liquid crystal-gold nanosphere composite.
Effect of the surrounding anisotropic liquid crystal medium on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) exhibited by concentrated suspensions of gold nanospheres has been investigated experimentally and compared with the Mie scattering theory. The observed polarization-sensitive SPR and the red-shift in the SPR wavelength with increasing concentration of the gold nanospheres in the liquid crystal ma...
متن کاملNanoparticle-Liquid Crystalline Elastomer Composites
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) exhibit a number of remarkable physical effects, including a uniquely high-stroke reversible mechanical actuation triggered by external stimuli. Fundamentally, all such stimuli affect the degree of liquid crystalline order in the polymer chains cross-linked into an elastic network. Heat and the resulting thermal actuation act by promoting entropic disorder, ...
متن کاملTunable - Focus Liquid Crystal Lens
Since liquid crystal (LC) was proposed for making a tunable lens, the LC based zoom lens has been studied extensively for machine vision, photonics, information processing and eye glasses. Various approaches for making LC tunable lenses exists. Among them three methods are presented in this seminar: flat LC spherical lenses, microlenses made of nanosized polymer dispersed LC and Fresnel type sw...
