Microwave phase modulation with liquid crystals

TL;DR: In this article, a liquid crystal medium is used as the phase modulating medium in a microwave phase-modulating cell (20), where applied electric and/or magnetic fields transverse to the direction of wave propagation create a birefringence that changes the velocity and the index of refraction of the medium.

High power RF phase shifter

TL;DR: An adjustable phase shifter is formed of an RF transmission line having an internal cavity, in which the phase shift produced is determined in part by a mound of flowable dielectric material in the internal cavity.

Light valves with high frequency excitation

TL;DR: A light valve having a cell containing a fluid suspension of minute particles dispersed therein capable of orientation by an electric field, has applied to an alternating voltage having a frequency at least as high as approximately 325 KHz and preferably 400 KHz, or higher, to prevent agglomeration of the particles over long periods of use as mentioned in this paper.

Liquid cell optical shutter

TL;DR: In this article, an optical shutter consisting of an aromatic hydrocarbon in liquid form together with a solvent and an electrolyte disposed in a cell having a pair of electrodes is presented, where an electric field is applied to the cell the hydrocarbon becomes ionized and absorbs light within the visible region while the neutral compound is transparent.
