Abstract
A polarization-independent phase modulator using a 90° twisted dual-frequency liquid crystal (DFLC) is demonstrated. In addition to being polarization independent, such a phase modulator exhibits many other advantages such as being scattering-free and having large phase change, low operating voltage, and submillisecond response time. Using a 15μm transmissive DFLC cell, the phase shift achieves 1π at λ=633nm and the applied voltage is lower than 25Vrms. Potential applications of such a phase modulator for laser beam steering, tunable-focus lenses, and switchable two-dimensional/three-dimensional liquid crystal displays are foreseeable.
