Temperature Tunability of Dielectric/ Liquid Crystal / Dielectric Photonic Crystal Structures
Recently, photonic crystals doped with liquid crystal (LC) material havegained much research interest. In this article new ternary one-dimensional photoniccrystal introduced and studied. The liquid crystal layer of 5CB and 5PCH is sandwichedby two dielectric layers. For the first time, we use four structures SiO2/UCF35/CaF2,SiO2/5CB/CaF2, NFK51/UCF35/NPSK53 and NFK51/5CB/NPSK53. The effect ofte...
متن کاملPhotonic Crystal-Based Polarization Converter for Optical Communication Applications
A photonic crystal-based TE to TM polarization converter for integrated optical communication is proposed in this paper. The photonic crystal consists of air circular-holes in slab waveguide. The radius of holes are determined to be 291nm having lattice constant of 640nm using the gap map and band diagram. The polarization converter is composed of an InGaAsP triangular-shaped waveguide on SiO2 ...
متن کاملBiased liquid crystal infiltrated photonic bandgap fiber.
A simulation scheme for the transmission spectrum of a photonic crystal fiber infiltrated with a nematic liquid crystal and subject to an external bias is presented. The alignment of the biased liquid crystal is simulated using the finite element method to solve the relevant system of coupled partial differential equations. From the liquid crystal alignment the full tensorial dielectric permitt...
متن کاملHigh dno/dT Liquid Crystals and their Applications in a Thermally Tunable Liquid Crystal Photonic Crystal Fiber
We have analyzed the physical origins of the temperature gradient of the ordinary refractive index (dno=dT) of liquid crystals. To achieve a large dno=dT, high birefringence (Dn) and low clearing temperature play crucial roles. Based on these guidelines, we formulated two exemplary liquid crystal mixtures, designated as UCF-1 and UCF-2. The dno=dT of UCF-1 is 4 higher than that of 5CB at room t...
متن کاملLiquid-crystal electric tuning of a photonic crystal laser
An electrically tuned nematic liquid-crystal (LC) infiltrated photonic crystal (PC) laser is demonstrated. This PC laser represents an emerging class of nanoscale optical adaptive devices enabled by the convergence of nonlinear optical materials, electronics, and fluidics that promise increased functionality and utility over existing technologies. A LC cell is constructed by encasing the PC las...
