Total-Reflection Liquid-Crystal Electrooptic Device

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

This paper describes a simple electrooptic effect that can be achieved by placing a thin nematic liquid crystal layer between two glass prisms of appropriate refractive index. For a range of angles of incidence on the prism–liquid crystal interface, light is partially transmitted or totally reflected, depending upon the electric-field-controlled orientation of the optic axis in the nematic layer.
