Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this paper, we proposed and fabricated a liquid crystal (LC) lens with spatially separated focuses via liquid crystal photoalignment technology. The novel lens is an integration of the polarisation grating and conventional LC lens. The two focuses of that new lens, one of which is real while the other is virtual, can be spatially separated. When combined with normal convex lens and illuminated by a linearly polarised beam, the two emergent light beams become all convergent and the two focuses are separated in three-dimension space. Moreover, the focal lengths of the lens system can be artificially controlled by adjusting the distance between our new lens and the conventional lens. Our results achieve the potential of LC lens’ application in imaging devices such as multifocal cameras, bifocal eyeglasses and so on.
