Fast-Response Liquid Crystals for 6G Optical Communications

We report two high birefringence and low viscosity nematic mixtures for phase-only liquid-crystal-on-silicon spatial light modulators. The measured response time (on + off) of a test cell with 2<i>π</i> phase change at 1550 nm, 5 V operation voltage, and 40 °C is faster than 10 ms. To im...
