Abstract

For many years now, liquid crystal devices have been studied and adopted for scientific use in such areas as optical display, optical switching, variable retarders, spatial light modulators and other nonlinear optical applications. Based on the behavior of voltage driving variable retardation, we developed a liquid crystal retardation modulator with an error smaller than 0.4% and of which temperature has no effect.
