摘要
En 中文
Highly efficient optical diffraction can be realized with the help of micrometer-thin liquid crystal (LC) layers with a periodic modulation of the director orientation. Electrical tunability is easily accessible due to the strong stimuli-responsiveness in the LC phase. By using well-designed photoalignment patterns at the surfaces, we experimentally stabilize two dimensional periodic LC configurations with switchable hexagonal diffraction patterns. The alignment direction follows a one-dimensional periodic rotation at both substrates, but with a 60 degrees or 120 degrees rotation between both grating vectors. The resulting LC configuration is studied with the help of polarizing optical microscopy images and the diffraction properties are measured as a function of the voltage. The intricate bulk director configuration is revealed with the help of finite element Q-tensor simulations. Twist conflicts induced by the surface anchoring are resolved by introducing regions with an out-of-plane tilt in the bulk. This avoids the need for singular disclinations in the structures and gives rise to voltage induced tuning without hysteretic behavior.
