title: Polymer-stabilized liquid crystal for tunable microlens applications.
abstract: We investigate the electro-optical properties of polymer stabilized nematic liquid crystals produced by in situ photopolymerization technique using Gaussian laser beam. The distribution of refractive index in such structure under the action of a homogeneous electric field reveals a non-homogeneous lens-like character, approximately reproducing the intensity transverse distribution in the photopolymerizing beam.
