Transparent-reflective switchable (TRS) glass is an emerging technology that provides
active control of solar radiation. Efficient TRS glasses have advantages over other smart …

Liquid Crystal Devices are crucial and ubiquitous components of an ever-increasing number
of technologies. They are used in everything from cellular phones, eBook readers, GPS …

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 …

We have designed, synthesized, and evaluated the physical properties of some high
birefringence (Δn) isothiocyanato biphenyl-bistolane liquid crystals. These compounds …

Particle-laden polymer-stabilized liquid crystal (PLPSLC) composites were studied as a
means to improve the electro-optic properties of nematic liquid crystals. Polystyrene …

We developed a phenomenological theory to describe the aligning field of polymer networks
in polymer stabilized liquid crystals where sub-micron size polymer networks are phase …

This work proposes a tunable reflective guided-mode resonant (GMR) filter that incorporates
a 90° twisted nematic liquid crystal (TNLC). The GMR grating acts as an optical resonator …

Free-space optical (FSO) communication provides wireless optical connectivity with high
data rates and low-cost implementation; however, its performance is strongly influenced by …

We demonstrated two liquid crystal diffractive waveplates: one optimized for near-infrared
(1.06 µm), and another for mid-wave infrared (MWIR, 3~ 5 µm). By employing a low loss …

This review is devoted to the characteristics of a new class of polymer composites,
dispersions of chemical polymer networks in LCs. Photopolymerization of various …
