Optical control of polarized terahertz waves using dye-doped nematic liquid crystals
We propose an optically tunable terahertz (THz) polarization converter based on use of a dye-doped nematic liquid crystal (LC). The dye-doped LC exhibits a photothermally-induced nematic-isotropic phase transition under irradiation by a laser beam with a wavelength that lies within the absorption ba...
