Abstract

We report on the results of holographic transmission grating that can be controlled by the applied AC electric field. We have fabricated a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal material that composed of multifunctional acrylate monomer blended with the liquid crystal mixture E7. To investigate an electro-optic properties of fabricated HPDLC, diffraction efficienties (DE) are measured as a fuction of applied electric field and density of liquid crystal. Maximum DE of about 70% is obtained about 30 wt% of LC concentration at a zero field. We have also shown that optical image was recorded in the tllm, and then the reconstructive image was switchable with the applied electric fields. ields.

전기적으로 굴절율 변조값을 조절할 수 있는 부피형 홀로그램 매질(HPDLC)을 제작하였다. HPDLC는 4가 acrylate monomer를 기초로 한 전폴리머(prepolymer)와 액정 혼합물 E7 등으로 구성되어져 있다. 제작된 매질의 광학적 특성을 조사하기 위해 액정 농도, 전기장의 세기에 따른 회전효율을 측정하고, 홀로그래피 방법으로 상을 기록한 후 재생된 상을 전기적으로 조절할 수 있음을 보였다.
