Creating Tunable Micro-Optical Components via Photopolymerization 3D Printing Combined with Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystals

Creating Tunable Micro-Optical Components via Photopolymerization 3D Printing Combined with Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystals

Based on additive manufacturing via photopolymerization, this study combines polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) technology with 3D printing technology to produce tunable micro-optical components with switchable diffraction or focusing characteristics. The diffraction grating and Fresnel zone pl...
