Sub-millisecond, high stroke phase modulation using polymer network liquid crystals.
We describe the production of a high speed, and high stroke, phase modulator using a polymer network liquid crystal device. We present data showing fast response times (sub millisecond) in a device which can operate at visible wavelengths with a simple electrical addressing scheme.
