Optoelectronic Workshops (14th). Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal IR chopper.

Abstract

Preliminary results demonstrated that submillisecond response for a ferroelectric liquid crystal chopper in the transient light scattering mode (TLSM) is possible. It was agreed that experiments should now examine the transmission limits and forward scattered optical radiation distributions in thin cells, with possible work to establish that a square wave transmitted energy profile can be achieved. Summary: A Review of the IR Chopper Issues; IR Shutter-Chopper Employing Ferroelectric liquid Crystals.
