Abstract
We propose a method of controlling the liquid crystal alignment at rubbed polyimide substrates by patterning them periodically with the focused ion beam. The pattern duty factor sets the alignment conditions which determine the light phase retardation that can be precisely varied in a range from zero to that of the background. The method opens up opportunities for creating tunable optical devices.
