Electrically tunable spin-orbit coupled photonic lattice in a liquid crystal microcavity
Marcin Muszyński, Przemysław Oliwa, Pavel Kokhanchik +12
We create a one-dimensional photonic crystal with strong polarization dependence and tunable by an applied electric field. We accomplish this in a planar microcavity by embedding a…
