CONTROLLABLE TWO LAYER BIREFRINGENT OPTICAL COMPONENT

An optical component ( 181 ) comprises a first birefringent layer ( 203 ) connected to a second birefringent layer ( 170 ) by a curved interface ( 206 ). An optical axis ( 19 ) passes through the first and the second layer. The second birefringent layer ( 170 ) has molecules movable between a first...

Zusammenfassung:An optical component ( 181 ) comprises a first birefringent layer ( 203 ) connected to a second birefringent layer ( 170 ) by a curved interface ( 206 ). An optical axis ( 19 ) passes through the first and the second layer. The second birefringent layer ( 170 ) has molecules movable between a first orientation and a second orientation relative to the optical axis. The refractive index of the second birefringent layer ( 170 ) is dependent upon the orientation of the modules.
