Design and realization of a compact efficient beam combiner, based on liquid crystal Pancharatnam-Berry phase gratings
Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel
We demonstrate a laser beam combiner based on four photo-patterned Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase gratings, which is compact and has high diffraction efficiency for incident circularly polarized light. The nematic liquid crystal mixture E7 is used as anisotropic material, and the thickness of the layer is controlled by spacers. The beam combiner can bring two parallel laser beams closer to each other while remaining parallel. This work shows the potential to realize components based on flat optical LC devices.
