Abstract: ABSTRACT We present studies on 21 multi-component mixtures consisting of bent-core liquid crystals to obtain room temperature switching between optically isotropic and birefringent states. Four of the mixtures show a significant enhancement over our previous… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT We propose an optically isotropic switchable microlens array (MLA) based on nanoencapsulated liquid crystals (LCs). In its initial state, the encapsulated LC layer has an refractive index intermediate to that of the LC and… read more here.

Abstract: A new scheme is investigated for evaluating the temperature dependence and dispersion relation of the Kerr constant (K) of an optically isotropic medium in isotropic and blue phases (BPs) liquid crystals. The scheme employs the… read more here.
