研究目的
Investigating a novel method to create an isolated and stable +1 type concentric LC defect by combining external pressure on a vertically aligned liquid crystal cell (VALC) and the application of electric fields for optical vortex generation.
研究成果
The study demonstrates a simple and cost-effective method to create stable and rewritable LC defects for optical vortex generation. The method's controllability, stability, and cost-effectiveness make it useful for practical applications such as optical communications.
研究不足
The method requires the application of electric fields to sustain the defect, and the stability of the defect is dependent on the presence of these fields. The chiral dopant is essential for obtaining a stable defect structure.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A VALC cell was prepared with square shaped indium tin oxide electrodes and
2：5 μm bead spacers. A LC mixture with negative dielectric anisotropy and a chiral dopant was injected. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The LC cell was pressed with a sharp pin by hand and then released, followed by the application of a 60 Hz square shaped electric field to create an isolated single defect.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
LC mixture (MLC7026, Merck Co., Korea), chiral dopant R811 or S811 (Merck Co., Korea), vertical alignment layer AL60101 (JSR, Japan).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The cell was pressed and released, then an electric field was applied to stabilize the defect. The defect was analyzed using an optical compensator method.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The director profile around the defect was analyzed to confirm the +1 type concentric defect.
