摘要: An achromatic wave plate using multiple twisted nematic liquid crystal polymer films or negative dispersion A-plate films is described. Each layer of twisted nematic liquid crystal polymer film aligns a next layer during forming achieving a monolithic structure. The achromatic wave plate with multiple layers of negative dispersion A-plate material has a non-continuous, easy to fabricate structure. Both types of films may be flexible and allow application to curved surfaces. The films of both examples also allow for high achromaticity in forward and backward propagation, thus, permitting the wave plate to operate as an optical isolator. A quarter wave of retardance across the entire visible spectrum and up to a 30-degree angle of incidence may be achieved.

摘要: A device is provided. The device includes an optical film including optically anisotropic molecules configured to form a plurality of helical structures with a plurality of helical axes and a helical pitch. The helical pitch is a distance along a helical axis over which an azimuthal angle of an optically anisotropic molecule vary by a predetermined value. Over the helical pitch of a helical structure, the azimuthal angle of the optically anisotropic molecule is configured to vary nonlinearly with respect to a distance from a starting point of the helical pitch to a local point at which the optically anisotropic molecule is located along the helical axis.

摘要: A device includes a substrate, an alignment structure disposed on the substrate, and a layer of a birefringent medium disposed on the alignment structure. The birefringent medium has an extraordinary refractive index, an ordinary refractive index different from the extraordinary refractive index, and an intermediate refractive index between the extraordinary refractive index and the ordinary refractive index. Molecules of the birefringent medium are configured to form helical structures having a helical axis. The layer is configured with an out-of-plane principal refractive index along the helical axis, and two equal in-plane principal refractive indices within a plane perpendicular to the helical axis. The out-of-plane principal refractive index is equal to the intermediate refractive index, and is substantially the same as the two equal in-plane principal refractive indices.
