VOLUME PHASE HOLOGRAM WITH LIQUID CRYSTAL IN MICROVOIDS BETWEEN FRINGES

Composite holograms are disclosed wherein microvoids between the holographic interference fringes are filled with a liquid crystal. The diffraction efficiency and other holographic properties of such composite holograms may be varied by external stimuli, e.g., application of an electric field or the...

More Information
Summary:Composite holograms are disclosed wherein microvoids between the holographic interference fringes are filled with a liquid crystal. The diffraction efficiency and other holographic properties of such composite holograms may be varied by external stimuli, e.g., application of an electric field or thermal energy.
