This paper investigates the optical phase modulation potential of a nematic liquid crystal (LC) π-cell in the symmetric H (Hs) state. Experimental results of optical phase modulation using a phase-shifting Michelson interferometer are compared with simulation results using the Ericksen-Leslie continuum theory. The stability of the Hs state is studied by adjusting the applied voltage and the voltage burst duration. The LC pi-cell driven into the Hs state using a short burst voltage shows excellent phase modulation capability in achieving full 2n phase modulation with a 1 ms timescale in a reflective geometry.
In this paper, we investigate the optical phase modulation potential of a nematic liquid crystal (LC) pi-cell operating in the so-called symmetric H (Hs) state. Experimental results of the optical phase modulation obtained using a phase-shifting Michelson interferometer are presented which are then compared with results from simulations carried out using Ericksen-Leslie continuum theory. The stability of the Hs state, which is limited, is investigated by adjusting the amplitude of the applied voltage and the duration of the voltage burst. To achieve full 2n phase modulation with 1 ms timescale in a reflective geometry (akin to that of a spatial light modulator), we employ a short burst voltage to drive the LC pi-cell into the Hs state, which shows excellent phase modulation capability, and the experimental results are found to be in good agreement with the results from simulations.
