Ferroelectric liquid-crystal polarization-control devices with a double-layer cell structure

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We analyzed the polarization-switching characteristics of a ferroelectric liquid-crystal polarization control device using a double-layer cell structure for free-space optical processing and switching systems. We theoretically derived the optimum arrangement of layered cells for 90° polarization switching. The theory shows that the optimum parameter range for the double-layer cell structure is wider than that for a single-layer cell. We verified our theory by measuring the polarization cross talk of experimental polarization control devices.
