Polarization characteristics of light passed through a cholesteric layer with tangential-conical boundary conditions

The present work is devoted to the investigation of the polarization characteristics of light passed through the cholesteric layer with tangential-conical boundary conditions

Spectral dependences of transmittance and polarizing ability of stretched PDLC films with homogeneous and inhomogeneous interface anchoring

Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films, consisting of non-absorbing uniaxially-elongated liquid crystal (LC) droplets within polymer matrix effectively polarize light in the entire transparency region (visible and near IR) of the components used, while the dichroic polarizers can do that only in the dichroic band of own or impurity absorption. Besides, PDLC films allow modulating the intensity, polarization and phase of light by applying the electric or magnetic field.They are particularly promising in the collimated laser devices and projection systems
