Liquid Crystal Polarization Gratings

Electro-optics

Non-mechanically reconfigurable optics with vastly superior size, weight, and power requirements compared to their mechanical counterparts

Liquid crystal polarization gratings (LCPGs) are diffractive elements that provide near-100% diffraction for circularly polarized light. When layered with thin polarization-controlling liquid crystal elements, LCPGs provide a means of non-mechanically reconfiguring light into different states, such as for beam steering or focusing.

What efficiency can Liquid Crystal Polarization Gratings achieve?

LC Polarization Gratings can achieve near-100% diffraction efficiency into a single diffraction order for circularly polarized input, far exceeding conventional ruled or holographic gratings.

Are LC Polarization Gratings available for infrared wavelengths?

Yes. LC Polarization Gratings can be fabricated for near-infrared and short-wave infrared wavelengths, expanding their use beyond visible-only applications.

Can LC Polarization Gratings be fabricated with custom grating periods?

Yes. The grating period determines the diffraction angle and can be specified based on the required beam steering angle or diffraction geometry for a specific application.
