| Research Abstract |
A microperiodic structure composed of polymer and liquid crystal (LC) composite materials was fabricated by a photo-induced phase separation technique. The fabricated device showed high diffraction efficiency more than 80% at green laser wavelength (532nm). The diffraction properties in the device have successfully changed with the threshold temperature depending on the nematic-to-isotropic (N-I) phase transition around 35℃. The different device structure enabled the shift of light controlled ranges of wavelength from the visible ranges (400-600nm) to near-infrared ranges (700-800nm).
