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…
Tuning selective reflection of light by surface anchoring in cholesteric cells with oblique helicoidal structures
Olena S. Iadlovska, Graham R. Maxwell, Greta Babakhanova +4
Selective reflection of light by oblique helicoidal cholesteric (ChOH) can be tuned in a very broad spectral range by an applied electric field. In this work, we demonstrate that t…
Enhanced nanosecond electro-optic effect in isotropic and nematic phases of dielectrically negative nematics doped by strongly polar additive
Bing-Xiang Li, Volodymyr Borshch, Hao Wang +3
An electric field can induce or modify optical birefringence in both the isotropic and nematic phases of liquid crystals (LCs). In the isotropic phase, the electric field induces b…
