Journal ArticleDOI
Liquid-crystal photonic applications
TL;DR: In this article, the use of liquid crystals in different photonic components: optical filters and switches, beam-steering devices, spatial light modulators, integrated devices based on optical waveguiding, lasers, and optical nonlinear components are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calculation of Fully Anisotropic Liquid Crystal Waveguide Modes
Jeroen Beeckman,Richard James,FA Fernandez,W. De Cort,Pieter J. M. Vanbrabant,Kristiaan Neyts +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a finite-element mode solver is used to incorporate the full anisotropy of the materials in the liquid crystal properties of optical waveguides, and the authors present calculations that combine an advanced algorithm for calculating liquid crystal behavior and a finite element solver.
Journal ArticleDOI
A finite element beam propagation method for simulation of liquid crystal devices.
TL;DR: An efficient full-vectorial finite element beam propagation method is presented that uses higher order vector elements to calculate the wide angle propagation of an optical field through inhomogeneous, anisotropic optical materials such as liquid crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of material properties on reverse flow in nematic liquid crystal devices with homeotropic alignment
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the material properties on the onset of backflow was investigated for commercially available negative dielectric liquid crystals, and it was shown that the threshold voltage VBF for the occurrence of back flow is an important material characteristic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature influence on the dynamics of vertically aligned liquid crystal displays
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the complex reverse flow phenomenon on the dynamic temperature behavior of vertically aligned liquid crystal displays (VA-LCDs) has been demonstrated using a one-dimensional model with material viscosity coefficients obtained from an improved estimation procedure.
