✦ Synopsis


We have experimentally and theoretically studied the thermal dependence of holographic gratings based on near infrared sensitive polymer dispersed liquid crystal films. Experimental results indicate that the diffraction efficiency of our grating changes non-monotonically with the increase of the sampleΓ•s temperature. The main contributing mechanism is the heat-induced change of the liquid crystal refractive index.

A polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal (PDLC) film was prepared from UVcurable acrylic, thermally curable epoxy, and a liquid-crystal (LC) mixture with a fixed LC content of 40 wt %. The UV irradiation and heat treatments were in sequential steps. At first, a phase diagram of a binary mixture of LC (E63

We report on the structures and electro-optical properties of epoxy/acrylic polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal (PDLC) films. A thermal stimulated current (TSC) analysis was used to investigate the physical structures of PDLC. In the TSC spectrum of PDLC, three relaxation peaks were observed: the glass
