摘要
A liquid crystal filled Fabry-Perot etalon has been constructed to control the resonant transmission of electromagnetic radiation over the visible range of the spectrum. This has been achieved through the use of a 1.5 mu m thick homogeneously aligned liquid crystal layer in the core of a silver-clad etalon structure. Applying an electric field across the core reorientates the liquid crystal director and changes the refractive index for incident light polarized parallel to the rubbing direction. By measuring the transmitted intensity as a function of wavelength for a variety of applied voltages shifts in the positions of the resonant transmission modes of up to 80 nm have been observed. In addition, these results have been compared to model data generated using a multilayer optics model to obtain the dispersion of the liquid crystal over the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
