Electrically tunable diffraction of light from 2D nematic colloidal crystals.
We show that diffraction of visible light from 2D dipolar nematic colloidal crystals can be tuned electrically. When the external electric field of approximately 1 V/microm is applied in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the 2D colloidal crystal, the induced strain is highly anisotropic, and...
