Orientation analysis of liquid crystal (LC) devices is important for understanding and
controlling light propagation behavior in these devices. Blue phases (BPs)─ unique LC …

Polymer‐stabilized blue phase liquid crystal (PS‐BPLC) is emerging as a promising
candidate for next‐generation photonic applications due to its attractive features: nano …

A finer-grid wavelength-selective switch (WSS) based on liquid crystal on silicon is
proposed, fabricated, and demonstrated. Based on the cost-effective method, namely …

Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals (NFLCs) are promising electronic materials owing to
their giant permittivity, polarization, and nonlinear optical coefficients. Although it is difficult to …

A double-layer polarization-independent liquid crystal (LC) phase modulator is
demonstrated and characterized. Using two-photon polymerization process, an ultra-thin …

This study investigates the influence of Grandjean–Cano disclinations on the cholesteric-
blue phase I (Ch-BPI) phase transition, revealing the pivotal role of defects in the phase …

We study the phase behaviour of cholesteric liquid crystal shells with different geometries.
We compare the cases of tangential anchoring and no anchoring at the surface, focussing …

The performance of liquid crystal (LC) spatial light modulators depends critically on the
amount of cumulative phase change. However, for regular phase modulators, a large phase …
