Abstract

ABSTRACTFerroelectric electro-optics materials are widely studied for optical applications, such as optical switches, optical scanners, and optical shutters. However, conventional operation of those devices requires a continuous external electrical field. On the other hand, our group proposes an optical property memory effect by controlling domain structure as either full-polarized or depolarized state using asymmetric voltage operation. The optical property memory effect can keep its optical value, such as refractive index and light transmittance without any external electrical field. In this study, it was confirmed that the refractive index state had two stable values depending on domain conditions. This memory effect should be useful for innovative optical switch or scanner in the future.
