Based on a nanoimprint technique, a new method is proposed for the rapid fabrication of an electrically switchable liquid crystal Fresnel zone lens (SLCFZL). The flow chart of the proposed fabrication method for a SLCFZL is given and a binary SLCFZL is experimentally demonstrated using the proposed method. The diffraction efficiency of the SLCFZL is continuously tunable through an external electric field, and the driving voltage is relatively low (<15V(rms)). The measured maximal diffraction efficiency reaches ∼35% for a linearly polarized light, which is close to the theoretical value of 40.5%. The focusing and imaging properties of the SLCFZL are also experimentally tested.
基于纳米压印技术,提出了一种快速制备电可切换液晶菲涅耳波带片(SLCFZL)的新方法。给出了所提出的SLCFZL制备方法的流程图,并通过实验证明了使用该方法制备的二元SLCFZL。SLCFZL的衍射效率可通过外部电场连续调节,且驱动电压相对较低(<15V(rms))。对于线偏振光,测得的最大衍射效率达到约35%,接近理论值40.5%。还对SLCFZL的聚焦和成像特性进行了实验测试。
