摘要
For more than two decades, liquid crystal (LC) technology has proved to be highly reliable in information display, military, and medical applications. The unique characteristics of liquid-crystal-based components make them ideally suited for application to the telecommunications industry where they are currently being developed for high-bit-rate optical switches and other novel products. Previous application of liquid crystal components tended to focus on the visible part of the optical spectrum. This paper focuses on the electro-optic properties and applicability of the LC twisted nematic mode for optical switching components in the near IR.
