Multilayer stacking technique for holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystals
Sameet K. Shriyan, Kashma K. Rai, Alyssa Bellingham, and Adam K. Fontecchio
We demonstrate an alternate method of stacking holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal (HPDLC) reflection gratings on substrates coated with indium tin oxide on both sides allowing independent switching of each grating in the stack. Successive layers of the stack are formed by switching existin … [Appl. Phys. Lett. 93, 261113 (2008)] published Mon Dec 29, 2008.
