Diffraction properties of liquid crystal polarization gratings with orthogonal circular polarization and different intensities waves
We report on the numerical analysis of liquid crystal polarization gratings (LCPGs)
especially those were fabricated by two incident lights with orthogonal circular polarization and different intensities
and study their general diffraction properties by Jones calculus. First
we represent the electric fields of the incident waves respectively
and figured out the interference pattern and polarization properties. Second
the response matrix of the refractive index change by irradiating the polarized light was inferred and associated with the interference pattern by using the Stokes parameters. Finally
we obtained the 2×2 Jones matrix and the theoretical properties about the LCPGs based on the response matrix. The results indicate that the LCPGs fabricated by two incident lights with different intensities also can show high diffraction efficiency
about 100%
in zero order and ±1 order.
