Design of polarization-insensitive multi-electrode GRIN lens with a blue-phase liquid crystal.

چکیده
We report the design and simulation results of an adaptive GRIN lens based on multi-electrode addressed blue phase liquid crystal. A high dielectric constant layer helps to smoothen out the horizontal electric field and reduce the operating voltage. Such a GRIN lens is insensitive to polarization while keeping parabolic phase profile as the focal length changes.

Polarization independent blue-phase liquid crystal cylindrical lens with a resistive film.
We propose a new electrode design for polarization-independent cylindrical lens using a polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC). The top electrode is coated with a transparent and resistive film to generate linearly varying electric potential from center to edge; while the bottom iridium tin oxide electrode has a constant potential. Therefore, the vertical electric field across the ...
متن کاملPaper No: PZT-based transmissive liquid crystal lens approach
We report the design and fabrication of an electro-optical tunable liquid-crystal-based lens and analysis of its performance. The lens obtains its GRIN profile from multi-electrode addressing using a layer with high dielectric constant to extend and smoothen out the horizontal electric field between the large interelectrode distances.

Polarization independent liquid crystal (LC) microlens arrays based on controlling the spatial distribution of the Kerr constants of blue phase LC are simulated. Each sub-lens with a parabolic distribution of Kerr constants results in a parabolic phase profile when a homogeneous electric field is applied. We evaluate the phase distribution under different applied voltages, and the focusing prop...

Here we report two...
متن کاملA new low-voltage-driven GRIN liquid crystal lens with multiple ring electrodes in unequal widths.
This work is dedicated to design a novel liquid crystal (LC) lens device with multiple ring electrodes in unequal widths, in order to offer tunability on focusing quality and to lower the level of applied voltage. The number and widths of the multiple ring electrodes are pre-designed and optimized to offer the on-line tunability on individual electrode voltages to render a better refraction ind...
