Influence of Periodic Non-Uniformities of Well-Structured Sapphire Surface by LIPSS on the Alignment of Nematic Liquid Crystal

In this study, we report on the alignment properties of nematic liquid crystals on various transparent structured sapphire layers formed by laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS). One-dimensional LIPSS (1D-LSFL) are generated by infrared femtosecond laser pulses along parallel lines cover...
