Abstract

Liquid crystal devices are one of the suitable devices for wave-front modulation since its extra low operating voltages such as 1~3Vrms. In this paper, we will present about liquid crystal active prisms for laser beam steering and its characteristics to the temperature change which causes an undesired optical power. Further more, we will present a recent result of a variable focus lens using quantized GRIN lens technology.
