Soliton-induced liquid crystal enabled electrophoresis
Bing-Xiang Li, Rui-Lin Xiao, Sergij V. Shiyanovskii +1
Manipulation of particles by a uniform electric field, known as electrophoresis, is used in a wide array of applications. Of especial interest is electrophoresis driven by an alter…
Three-dimensional solitary waves with electrically tunable direction of propagation in nematics
Bing-Xiang Li, Rui-Lin Xiao, Sathyanarayana Paladugu +2
Production of stable multidimensional solitary waves is a grand challenge in modern science. Steering their propagation is an even harder problem. In this work we demonstrate three…
Microsecond electro-optic switching of nematic liquid crystals with giant dielectric anisotropy
Bing-Xiang Li, Greta Babakhanova, Rui-Lin Xiao +4
Nematic liquid crystals exhibit a fast optical response when the applied electric field modifies the degree of order but does not change the direction of molecular orientation. The…
Dye-doped dual-frequency nematic cells as fast-switching polarization-independent shutters
Bing-Xiang Li, Rui-Lin Xiao, Sathyanarayana Paladugu +2
We present polarization-independent optical shutters with a sub-millisecond switching time. The approach utilizes dual-frequency nematics doped with a dichroic dye. Two nematic cel…
Electrically driven dynamic three-dimensional solitons in nematic liquid crystals
Bing-Xiang Li, Volodymyr Borshch, Rui-Lin Xiao +4
Electric field induced collective reorientation of nematic molecules placed between two flat parallel electrodes is of importance for both fundamental science and practical applica…
