摘要
In recent years, topological waves (TWs), which are characterized by structured phase, polarization, and amplitude, have garnered significant attention across various research fields due to their distinctive physical characteristics. Reflecting on the history of TW research, advancements in TW generation methods have also led to evolution in TW application fields. Photosensitive liquid crystal (LC) polymers have the ability to spatially control optical parameters due to their high flexibility in fabricating three-dimensional anisotropic structures. In this review, we outline our efforts toward generating and applying TWs utilizing the photo-alignment technique of photosensitive LC polymers.
