Liquid crystals for controlling polarization inside waveguides
The journal "Optical Materials Express" has just (04.03.2024) reported that a research group led by Dr Alberucci and Prof. Nolte has developed a new way of modulating optical signals in a laser-written waveguides in glass by inserting a liquid crystal layer.
Researchers Alessandro Alberucci and Kim Lammers are pictured working in the lab. Their advance paves the way to integrating new types of optical functions into the whole volume of a single glass chip, enabling compact full 3D photonic integrated devices.
