Lenses with tunable focal length play important roles in nature by helping species avoid
predators and capture prey. Many practical devices mimic lens concept for imaging, sensing …

3D photonic nanostructures with intrinsic chirality have recently entered the research
limelight due to their fundamental importance and potential technological applications. Blue …

Principles of Adaptive Optics describes the foundations, principles, and applications of
adaptive optics (AO) and its enabling technologies. This leading textbook addresses the …

Presents readers with the basic science, technology, and applications for every type of
adaptive lens An adaptive lens is a lens whose shape has been changed to a different focal …

Polymer-stabilized optically isotropic liquid crystals, including blue phases, are emerging as
a strong contender for next-generation display technology because they exhibit some …

A polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) composite with a large Kerr constant
(K∼ 13.7 nm/V 2) is developed and its electro-optic properties characterized. In addition to …

Electrically tunable focusing liquid crystal (LC) lenses are reviewed in this paper. The
distribution of the orientations of LC directors which is controlled by electric fields results in a …

We demonstrate a tunable phase grating using a polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid
crystal. Because of the electric-field-induced rectangularlike phase profile, a high diffraction …

We report a polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) whose Kerr constant is
about 2.2× larger than previous record. When filled in a 3.2-μm-thick vertical field switching …

An electrically tunable-focusing and polarizer-free liquid crystal (LC) lens for ophthalmic
applications is demonstrated. The optical mechanism of a LC lens used in human eye …
