Multi-Pitch Liquid Crystal Filters with Single Layer Polymer Template

Multi-reflective peak and bandwidth scalable liquid crystal (LC) filters were investigated. By refilling a cholesteric LC (CLC) whose chiral pitch is different to the target template into a blue phase LC (BPLC) template, a multi-reflective peak single layer LC filter can be fabricated. With multiple...

description Multi-reflective peak and bandwidth scalable liquid crystal (LC) filters were investigated. By refilling a cholesteric LC (CLC) whose chiral pitch is different to the target template into a blue phase LC (BPLC) template, a multi-reflective peak single layer LC filter can be fabricated. With multiple templating and refilling processes, the number of reflective peaks can be further increased. Moreover, by refilling the CLCs of designed chiral pitch into a CLC template sequentially, a bandwidth scalable single layer CLC filter can be fabricated. The LC filters show great potential applications in optical communication, display, and LC lasing.
