Incident angle dependence-reduced polarization grating performance by using optically biaxial polymer liquid crystal

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We have succeeded in forming a polarization grating whose polarization diffraction properties are extremely independent of the incident angle by using polymer liquid crystal exhibiting biaxial optical anisotropy. It is considered that the extension of the optical path length and the decrease in the effective amplitude of optical anisotropy due to oblique incidences are offset by the biaxial optical anisotropy and, as a result, the retardation is compensated. The properties of this developed device have been experimentally demonstrated and theoretically explained.
