Tunable Optical Beam Deflection Via Liquid Crystal Gradient Refractive Index Generated By Highly Resistive Polymer Film

An effective tunable optical beam deflection device based on a periodic gradient refractive index (GRIN) profile is reported, which is capable of achieving a 5&#x00B0; beam deflection with an angle resolution of 0.5&#x00B0;. The operation voltage is around 6 V<sub>pp</sub>, and t...
