Printed liquid crystal optical vortex beam generators

Printed liquid crystal optical vortex beam generators

This study presents an innovative application of inkjet printing technology in the construction of a switchable optical vortex beam generator. The fabrication process involves drop-ondemand printing of liquid crystal (LC) droplets, which can generate an optical vortex beam in the far-field with the...
