Generation of Light Scattering States in Cholesteric Liquid Crystals by Optically Controlled Boundary Conditions

Generation of Light Scattering States in Cholesteric Liquid Crystals by Optically Controlled Boundary Conditions

Circularly polarized light was previously employed to stimulate the reversible and reconfigurable writing of scattering states in cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) cells constructed with a photosensitive layer. Such dynamic photodriven responses have utility in remotely triggering changes in optical...
