Calculation of electro-optical characteristics of phase-only liquid crystal modulator
liquid crystal (LC) with its promising electro-optical characteristics arouses the interest in many non-display applications
such as the wavefront corrector in adaptive optics
atmospheric turbulence simulator
and optical steering as a optical phased array. In these applications
the key LC parameters include its response time
phase stroke and dispersion. In the paper
we focus on these key parameters and report the advancement of theoretical calculation algorithms in LC optimal parameters design
driving improvement and LC dispersion description. And these are valuable and helpful to improve the LC device design and estimate their electro-optical properties.
