Field-Programmable Topological Torons in Chiral Nematic Liquid Crystals
Adithya Pradeep, Urban Mur, Ji Qin +7
Torons are three-dimensional double-twist solitons in chiral nematic liquid crystals that form localised director configurations protected by topology and bounded by closed defect…
Tunable Dynamic Speckle Generation for Random Illumination Microscopy
Lilian Magermans, Assia Benachir, Nathan P. Spiller +7
Speckled illumination enhances widefield fluorescence microscopy by enabling optical sectioning and super resolution. In random illumination microscopy, sequences of speckled illum…
Multiplexed vector beam conversion via complex structured matter
Runchen Zhang, Tade Marozsak, An Aloysius Wang +9
Structured light, in which the amplitude, phase, and polarization of an optical field are deliberately tailored in space and time, has enabled unprecedented control over optical fi…
Full vectorial field sensing using liquid crystal droplet arrays
Xuke Qiu, Jinge Guo, Jiahe Cui +8
Determining the amplitude, phase, and polarization profile of light is essential for both fundamental scientific discovery and applications spanning optical metrology, microscopy,…
Speckle suppression in digital in-line holographic microscopy through liquid crystal dynamic scattering
Emilia Wdowiak, Nathan Spiller, Tianxin Wang +7
We demonstrate speckle noise reduction in an in-line holographic imaging system using a Zwitterion-doped liquid crystal dynamic scatterer (LCDS) cell diffuser. Integrated into a mi…
Inkjet Printed Liquid Crystal Droplet for Complex Beam Manipulation
Mengmeng Li, Chao He, Steve J. Elston +6
The inkjet-fabricated liquid crystal (LC) droplet device not only capitalizes on the intrinsic birefringence properties of liquid crystals but also leverages the hemispherical shap…
Complex structured light generation using printed liquid crystal droplets
Xuke Qiu, Runchen Zhang, Yifei Ma +10
Inkjet-printed liquid crystal (LC) droplets exhibit an intricate spatially-varying birefringence due to their complex internal director configuration. While such anisotropy is ofte…
Physically Plausible Vectorial Metrics for Polarization Information Analysis
Runchen Zhang, Xuke Qiu, Yifei Ma +7
The Mueller Matrix Polar Decomposition method decomposes a Mueller matrix into a diattenuator, a retarder, and a depolarizer. Among these elements, the retarder, which plays a key…
Intensity adaptive optics
Zimo Zhao, Yifei Ma, Zipei Song +12
Adaptive optics (AO) is a powerful tool employed across various research fields, from aerospace to microscopy. Traditionally, AO has focused on correcting optical phase aberrations…
Topological Protection of Optical Skyrmions through Complex Media
An Aloysius Wang, Zimo Zhao, Yifei Ma +14
Optical Skyrmions have many important properties that make them ideal units for high-density data applications, including the ability to carry digital information through a discret…
A reconfigurable arbitrary retarder array as complex structured matter
Chao He, Binguo Chen, Zipei Song +31
Tuneable retarder arrays, such as spatially patterned liquid crystal devices, have given rise to impressive photonic functionality, fuelling diverse applications ranging from micro…
Non-polar Flexoelectrooptic Effect in Blue Phase Liquid Crystals
B. I. Outram, S. J. Elston, F. Castles +4
Blue phase liquid crystals are not usually considered to exhibit a flexoelectrooptic effect, due to the polar nature of flexoelectric switching and the cubic or amorphous structure…
