研究目的
To review recent progresses made in optical field control via photopatterned LCs, emphasizing photopatterning techniques suitable for generating complicated LC domains and demonstrating fascinating microstructured LC domains with binary or space‐variant orientations for novel optical fields.
研究成果
Photoinduced LC domain engineering significantly enhances the capability of optical field control, enabling arbitrary tailoring of wavefronts. This approach offers a promising avenue for advancing LC optics and photonics, with potential applications in optical manipulation, high‐resolution imaging, and optical communications.
研究不足
The techniques are limited by the resolution of the photopatterning systems and the response time of the LC materials. Additionally, the efficiency of optical field manipulation may vary with wavelength and polarization state of the incident light.
