This study reports the observation of quasi-permanent recording of holographic gratings in a
twisted nematic liquid crystal cell by He–Ne 632.8 nm laser light. The cell is equipped with …

Liquid crystals (LCs) show an anisotropic nature in various aspects of optical and electronic
properties. This anisotropy enables LC materials to be used as active media in display …

A switchable liquid crystal diffraction grating, responsive to both the frequency and
magnitude of an applied voltage, is demonstrated. The grating is based on polymer …

Photosensitive liquid crystals (PLCs) are promising materials that can combine a high-
refractive-index modulation, typical of LCs, with high photosensitivity, due to the presence of …
