  • Title: Micro-optical polarizer with high efficiency.
    Author: Ruffieux P, Scharf T, Herzig HP.
    Journal: Opt Express; 2008 Feb 04; 16(3):2023-36. PubMed ID: 18542282.
    Abstract:
    Based on liquid crystal polymers (LCP) a compact micro-optical polarizer with high efficiency has been designed and realized. By using cylindrical microlens arrays made of LCP and index matching layer, a complete separation of both polarization components of the unpolarized input light is achieved. Combined with a patterned twisted nematic (TN) cell, allowing a rotation of only one polarization component, a polarizer with high efficiency (72,5% (measured) is realized. Simulations and measurements are presented.
