Abstract Details

2021, PHD, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Materials Science Graduate Program.
In this dissertation, a novel approach to a liquid crystal electro-optical device for light beam steering is examined. The proposed apparatus, so called "FFS-PPD", with fast switching variable phase and tunability is successfully developed for the first time. The device was first designed, analyzed and optimized with the help of modeling. It was then fabricated and the proof of concept was demonstrated by characterization.Other types of liquid crystal optical devices such as Pancharatnam-Berry phase lens (PPL) and segmented phase profile (SPP) variable focal lens and their emerging applications in AR/VR/3D systems are also discussed.
