Fast Switchable Dual-Model Grating by Using Polymer-Stabilized Sphere Phase Liquid Crystal

Fast Switchable Dual-Model Grating by Using Polymer-Stabilized Sphere Phase Liquid Crystal

We demonstrated a fast switchable dual-model grating based on a polymer-stabilized sphere phase liquid crystal. To form binary periodicity layers, the polymer-stabilized sphere phase liquid crystal precursor was sequence ultraviolet cured at an isotropic and sphere phase. This grating jointly modula...
