Liquid crystal (LC) devices have been largely developed for LC displays and in the last
decade for optical telecommunications; however, their application in the field of optical …

Liquid crystal (LC) devices exhibit fast and strong tuning and switching capabilities using
small voltages and can be miniaturized thus have a great potential to be used with miniature …

Liquid crystals exhibit large electro-optic effects which make them useful for a variety of
applications as fast, compact, and tunable spectral filters, phase modulators, polarization …

Liquid crystal spatial light modulators, lenses, and bandpass filters are becoming
increasingly capable as material and electronics development continues to improve device …

In the late 1980s, spatial light modulators (SLMs) began to be used in a variety of imaging
systems and optical signal processing applications, such as CCD and CMOS cameras …

An optical filter with tunable wavelength and bandwidth has been demonstrated using two
cholesteric liquid crystals configured in a reflection mode, in which the incident light is first …

We report on a new class of instrument for imaging spectral analysis, the tunable liquid
crystal filter (LCTF). The LCTF is an optical filter, similar to an interference filter, whose …

The large optical anisotropy of liquid crystal molecules is employed to realize an efficient,
voltage tunable Fabry-Perot filter. Tuning has been demonstrated in both the visible and …

Acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTF) and liquid crystal tunable filters (LCTF) are evaluated for
their suitability as fluorescence microscopy imaging spectrometers. AOTFs are solid-state …

The confluence of the fields of liquid crystals and biomedical engineering is resulting in
remarkable interdisciplinary research. This book focuses on the potential for inherently …
