Abstract

Negative refraction (NR) is a promising technique that provides an opportunity to manipulate beam behaviour. We have demonstrated experimentally the controllable NR with large refraction angle at visible wavelength in the novel high birefringence (Δn) liquid crystals. When the Δn of liquid crystal reaches 0.42, the NR angle and critical incident angle reach –14° and 23.2°, respectively, which are much larger than those achieved before by other liquid crystals. By applying the electric field, we control the switch from NR to positive.
