Abstract

This paper reports 65° beam steering using a slanted holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal (HPDLC) grating with the slanted angle at 16.6°. The HPDLC grating was fabricated using a convenient one-step holographic technique. The SEM image confirmed the slanted grating configuration. The grating showed anisotropic diffraction characterizations. The diffraction efficiency for the p-polarized light was as high as 80%. The Bragg angle deviation diffraction and the transmittance properties of the slanted HPDLC grating were investigated. The slanted HPDLC grating can be switched with an external electric field. The results in this work provide an optional method to fabricate a slanted grating configuration. The slanted HPDLC grating can be used in the field where polarized beam steering is required.
