Photoalignment templates for chiral liquid crystal lenses and photonic components Ghent University
Recently it has become possible to produce diffractive components with very high efficiency based on inhomogeneous thin liquid crystal layers. The alignment of the liquid crystal is defined by illumination of a photo-sensitive layer with polarized blue or UV light. In this project we want to explore the possibilities of photo-alignment to obtain novel photonic components. We will use optical interference of blue laser light to fabricate ...
