Instabilities in hybrid liquid crystal optical bistable devices

José Antonio Martín Pereda, Miguel A. Muriel

Published Jan 1, 1982• 1 citation

Abstract

In this paper we report some of the experimental results that can be obtained in the field of hybrid optical bistable devices when liquid crystals are employed as non linear materials. The advantages with respect to other materials are the very low voltages and power needed, compatibles with I.C.'s levels.

We present the experimental results concerning hybrid optical bistable devices without resonant cavity using as electro-optic modulators a nematic liquid crystal cell and a polymer dispersed liquid crystal film. Bistable operation was studied for different control voltages and multistable behavior was studied for the polymer dispersed liquid crystal film as a function of the control voltage frequency.

During the past years a great interest has been devoted to the study of possible applications of non-linear interfaces, mainly in the field of Optical Bistability. Several papers have been published in this field, and some of them dealing with liquid crystals as non-linear material.

Laser pulse shaping with liquid crystals (1982)

José Antonio Martín Pereda, Miguel A. Muriel

In this paper we report a new method of laser pulse shaping by the use of liquid crystals as non linear materials. The basis of this method is similar to the one reported by us for an hybrid optical bistable device, but with a different electronic circuitry and feedback.
