Abstract

We have performed a detailed Monte Carlo study of photonic devices based on nematic liquid crystal infiltrated in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and in Silicon-Organic Hybrid (SOH) channels, to be used as waveguides. The simulations of a simple model of these slot waveguide shifters have shown the effect of an applied electric external field in two cases with different surface alignments, i.e. planar SOH and homeotropic PDMS. We have investigated the effect of the external field on the optical transmission and the ordering across the cell.
