Hybridized Photovoltaic Liquid Crystal Cells and Light Valves (Preprint)

Abstract

Can use PV field in LiNbO3:Fe to activate a liquid crystal. This geometry utilizes the photorefractive effect in the substrates (two-beam coupling) and the scattering effect from the liquid crystal. A less ionic liquid crystal can be used to correct for effects of screening charges.
