1. Introduction
1.1. Concept of defect-mode tunability in a one-dimensional photonic-crystal/liquid-crystal hybrid cell
Photonic crystals (PCs) are a special class of artificial structures with spatially periodic dielectric permittivity and their investigations stem from 1987 when both Yablonovitch and John independently demonstrated their own findings (Yablonovitch, 1987; John, 1987). The most attractive feature of PCs is the existence of photonic bandgap (PBG), characterized by the spatial distribution of refractive index or dielectric constant. The PBG of PCs is analogous to the electronic bandgap of semiconductors, meaning that certain photons will be localized and forbidden in propagation through PCs. According to this characteristic, PCs can be of wide use; thus, various types of PCs have successively been proposed and devised for photonic applications. (Fleming & Lin, 1999; Imada et al., 1999; Knight, 2003; Krauss et al., 2000; Nelson et al., 2000; Park, 1999). If a defect layer is infiltrated in a PC to disrupt its periodicity, partial defect modes that allow the transmission of photons at specific wavelengths will be generated within the PBG. Based on this design of PCs with defect layers, several photonic devices made of two- or three-dimensional PCs have been suggested for lasers (Painter et al., 1999), optical fibers (Knight et al., 1998), and some other applications (Blanco et al., 2000; Chow et al., 2000). Notably, the spectral profile of a PC can be more flexible when the PBG is intrinsically tunable or when the PC is composed of a tunable defect layer.
Liquid crystals (LCs) are anisotropic materials whose physical properties such as electrical and optical anisotropy can be tuned by the electric field, magnetic field, temperature, and the like in that the LC molecules are susceptible to external stimuli. Depending on the molecular orientation, LCs can serve as a phase retardation medium and an optical polarization rotator to manipulate the incoming light via the electrically controlled birefringence and polarization rotation, respectively. As a result, LCs are widely applied to various types of currently used electro-optical devices, especially the information display. As a matter of fact, certain LCs such as the cholesteric LC (CLC), blue phase LC (BP LC) and ferroelectric LC (FLC) can be regarded as PCs due to their periodical orientation of molecular helix. Among them, the PBG of CLCs depends on the LC and chiral parameters. The tunable CLC PCs can thus be realized by adjusting the external factors such as temperature (Morris et al., 2005; Hung et al., 2000), light irradiation (Bobrovsky et al., 2003; Lin et al., 2005), or electric field (Choi et al., 2009; Lin et al., 2005; Yu et al., 2005). Some other tunable PCs based on FLC (Kasano et al., 2003) or BP LC (Yokoyama et al., 2006) have also been demonstrated.
By inserting a LC as defect layer in the PC, tunabilities in the profiles of defect modes are expected. The first tunable PC/LC hybrid structure was developed by Ozaki et al. when they used a planar aligned nematic LC as a defect layer sandwiched between two one-dimensional (1D) periodical multilayers (i.e., dielectric mirrors) and successfully demonstrated the electrically tunable wavelength of defect modes (Ozaki et al., 2002). Their concept of tunability in the 1D PC/LC cell can briefly be described as follows: Figure 1 illustrates the setup for investigation of the transmission spectra of the PC/LC cell. Note that the configuration includes a single linear polarizer in front of the PC/LC cell. The LC with positive dielectric anisotropy is aligned homogeneously along the
1.2. Overview of the development of one-dimensional photonic crystals with a dynamic-mode liquid crystal
Current available LC devices can be classified into two categories, dynamic-mode (DM) and memory-mode (MM)LCs, according to their operation as a function of applied electric field. The LC molecules in the DMLC have only one stable state, determined by the condition of the alignment film, and they are continuously reoriented with applied voltage. On the contrary, there are two or multistable states in the MMLC and the stable states can be switched from one to another by the applied voltage. In the DMLC, it can serve as a phase retarder or optical rotator and the light passing them is modified by electrically controlled birefringence (ECB) and polarization rotation effect, respectively. For the 1D PC/LC cells mentioned in Section 1.1, the LC defect layers used are DMLCs acting as phase retarders. The mechanism of the tunable defect modes in these cells can thus be explained in terms of the ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices (Ozaki et al., 2002, 2004b; Zyryanov et al., 2008). On the other hand, the twisted-nematic (TN) LC, in which the molecular orientation exhibits 90° twist, acts as an optical polarization rotator so that the light passing through the TN LC is characterized by the rotation of polarization. The hybrid structure configured by a 1D PC and a TN LC was demonstrated in 2010 (Lin et al., 2010). Several phenomena attributable to the adiabatic following are quite different from the tunability mechanism mentioned in the preceding section. To realize how the adiabatic following enables optical tunability, described here are the spectral characteristics of an electrically controlled 1D PC/TN cell acquired in both the single-polarizer (SP) and crossed-polarizer (CP) schemes.
In the study reported by Lin and coworkers (Lin et al., 2010), the 90° TN LC modes are divided into three groups, depending on the polarization angle
giving superior adiabatic following capability of E7 (Lin et al., 2010). A perfect adiabatic following in the TN LC cell would enable the linearly polarized light to traverse the LC layer with the rotation of the molecular twist, which makes
Figure 3 demonstrates an integrated effect on the transmission of defect modes in the M-mode PC/TN cell. One can obviously identify that the peaks of the M-mode spectrum are located at the exactly same positions of the E-mode and O-mode peaks in wavelength. This result indicates that each defect mode in the M-mode PC/TN is contributed by both the adiabatic following and birefringence effects. Moreover, the intensity of the transmitted light in either E- or O-mode spreads to the other, making the integrated intensity of the peaks in the M-mode almost the same as that in either E- or M-mode. This implies that the M-mode spectrum is a superposition of those of both E-mode and O-mode. Interestingly, while looking carefully into the spectra of E- and O-mode, small satellite peaks accompanying the defect modes are observed, presumably due to the unavoidable elliptic polarization of light in a conventional TN cell. This phenomenon has left untouched in other types of 1D PC/LC cells. Recently, it has been explained by the Mauguin condition violation and the coupling between the slow semi-longitudinal mode (i.e., twisted extraordinary mode) and fast semi-transverse mode (i.e., twisted ordinary mode) PC/TN cell (Timofeev et al., 2012).
In regard to a typical 90° TN cell, the linearly polarized light rotated approximately by 90° by the cell can almost “completely” pass the rear polarizer; i.e., the analyzer. There is no doubt that the spectra of the E-mode as well as the O-mode in the CP scheme (configured by two linear polarizers whose transmission axes are orthogonal to each other) are nearly identical to their corresponding ones under the SP scheme. Figure 4 reveals a distinctive profile in the spectrum for the M-mode because the light passing through the cell becomes non-linearly polarized light. Particularly, an outstanding peak, whose intensity is the strongest among the vast of peaks within the PBG, is located near 700 nm as shown in Fig. 4. This unique feature enables to extend the use of the PC/TN cell in the application of a monochromatic selector. In accordance with the simulation results published in the literature, this remarkable defect-mode peak is attributable to the intrinsic transmission characteristic of a MTN cell (Lin et al., 2010).
1.3. Aim of this chapter
Recently, electro-optical devices in line with the idea of energy saving and/or low power consumption become a popular research topic in that the green concept is globally promoted due to the great concern for energy shortage nowadays. The most representative one for alternative energy is the solar cell which has the ability to transfer natural energy from the sun to electric power. In view of the recent development in 1D PC/LC cells, the demonstrated features such as wavelength tunability and transmission tunablity enable their use for the application in various electro-optical devices, as described in Section 1.2. However, aforementioned features in 1D PC/LC cells are realized by the continuous-varying of electric field due to the use of DMLCs as the defect layer so that applications in green products are very limited. Lately, a new design of 1D PC with MMLC as a defect layer that brings the notion of multistability in defect modes has been demonstrated (Hsiao et al., 2011a, 2011c; Wu et al., 2011). In the 1D PC/MMLC cell, the spectral properties of defect modes in a memory state persist without applied voltage; such a cell supports a pathway for designing photonic devices with green concept. To interpret how the 1D PC/MMLC operates, this chapter reviews some previous works primarily done by this group and builds up the following three sections in the main body of this article to explicitly clarify the characteristics of such 1D PC/MMLC cells.
Among the recent development of MMLCs, the bistable or multistable cells using dual-frequency LCs (DFLCs) enable the switching between optically stable states by applying frequency-modulated voltage pulses. The DFLC is a kind of LC material whose sign of dielectric anisotropy (Δε ) can be varied by the frequency of an externally applied electric field (Xianyu et al., 2009). The DFLC has a certain crossover frequency (
2. Operation principles of memory-mode liquid crystals
2.1. Bistable chiral-tilted homeotropic nematic liquid crystals
The BHN LC possesses two optically stable states—tilted-homeotropic (tH) and tilted-twist (tT) states, either of which remains optically stable without the need of continuous application of a voltage (Hsu et al., 2004). By means of a DFLC, switching between these two states is accomplished by the flow effect of LC molecules and frequency-revertible dielectric anisotropy of the DFLC. To fabricate a BHN LC cell, the thickness-to-pitch ratio
According to the above-mentioned results, Fig. 5 illustrates the cell configuration of the BHN LC. The BHN cell is composed of a DFLC doped with a suitable concentration of a chiral agent sandwiched between two indium–tin-oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrates covered with alignment films. To achieve necessary tilted-homeotropic molecular orientation with a proper pretilt angle, one can simply coat a homeotropic polyimide or a mixed solution of homeotropic- and planar-alignment polyimide on the substrates as the aligning layers with the treatment of mechanical rubbing on the top and bottom substrates in anti-parallel direction. While the adaptable range of the pretilt angle is very limited in a BHN LC cell with homeotropic alignment, cells with mixed alignment enable the tunable pretilt angle in a wider range by adjusting its composition (Yeung et al., 2006).
On the basis of the switching mechanism of the BHN LC (Hsu et al., 2007; Liang et al., 2008), a brief illustration, shown in Fig. 6, is provided to summarize the operation between the two stable states in a BHN LC cell. Here,
2.2. Dual-frequency cholesteric liquid crystals
The optical bistability is one of the unique features in cholesteric LC (CLC) and its applications in electro-optical devices (Bao et al., 2009; Berreman & Heffner, 2006; Huang et al., 2003; Hsiao et al., 2011b; Xu & Yang, 1997). CLCs, also termed chiral nematic LCs because of their structural nature to be the chiral versions of the nematic molecules, have been widely investigated in the literature. In a typical bistable CLC cell, the two stable states are the transparent planar (P) state and light-scattering focal conic (FC) state. Switching between these two states can readily be achieved by adjusting the amplitude of applied electric field. For instance, when an electric field in square wave with a specific amplitude value is applied to the CLC cell, the texture will be changed from P to FC state. Further increasing the voltage over a critical value results in the transition of texture from FC to homeotropic (H) state. The texture in the H state can be switched back to the P state by turning off the field rapidly or to the light-scattering FC state by turning off the field slowly. As a result, the P-to-FC transition can be accomplished directly by the external applied field whereas the FC-to-P transition is indirect since an intermediate H state is required. In addition, it takes a few seconds to relax from H to P state, meaning that the response time for the FC-to-P transition is quite slow. This drawback limits the CLC device for practical applications. In contrast to the conventional CLCs, the DFCLC device empowers direct two-way switching between two cholesteric states due to its material property of the frequency-revertible dielectric anisotropy and thus yields a feature of fast response speed (Hsiao et al., 2011b; Ma et al., 2010).
Figure 7 depicts the cell configuration of a typical CLC or DFCLC cell prepared in homogeneous (i.e., planar) alignment. A (DF)LC host doped with a chiral agent in proper concentration is sandwiched between two conductive glass substrates coated with planar alignment films. The rubbing directions of the top and bottom substrates are set to be antiparallel. As a consequence, a planar texture is initially formed, exhibiting periodic helix structure with its optical axis perpendicular to the substrate plane. Such a molecular orientation in the CLC cell itself can be regarded as a photonic crystal structure with its bandgap located within a designated wavelength regime.
To clarity how the cholesteric textures are switched by frequency-modulated voltage pulses, Fig. 8 illustrates operations among three cholesteric states (i.e., P, FC, and H) in a DFCLC cell (Hsiao et al., 2011a). It should be noted here again that, when a voltage pulse is applied to the DFCLC cell, the dielectric anisotropy is positive at low frequencies (
3. Optical properties of one-dimensional photonic-crystal/memory-mode-liquid-crystal cells
3.1. Definition of the cell configuration
A 1D PC structure incorporated with LC as a defect layer is well known to have the ability on tuning the optical characteristics such as light intensities and wavelengths of the defect modes. While most of investigations of 1D PC/LC cells are demonstrated based on DMLCs, this section is dedicated to a new classification of 1D PC/LC cells formed by infiltrating with a MMLC as a defect layer. The configuration of a 1D PC/MMLC hybrid structure is schematically depicted in Fig. 9 (Hsiao et al., 2011c). Referring to the conventional 1D periodical structure, the 1D PC here is constructed with two identical dielectric mirrors having multilayer films deposited on the electrically conductive glass substrates. The MMLC, for example, the DFCLC whose electro-optical characteristic exhibits bistable or multistable switching, is infiltrated into the 1D PC as a defect layer with a thickness
To provide high reflectivity, the OPL of these two materials is theoretically set to be equal to one-quarter wavelength of the incident light, i.e.,
3.2. One-dimensional photonic-crystal/bistable-chiral-tilted-homeotropic-nematic cells
According to the operation of a BHN LC discussed in Section 2.1, applying an external electric field to the PC/BHN hybrid cell enables the switching among four specific states; i.e., tH, bH, tT, and bT states. Due to different molecular orientation of LC as well as the contributions of effective refractive index (
where
Similar to the tunable mechanism in the 1D PC/DMLC device, the tunability in defect modes of the PC/BHN cell can be realized by dynamic switching between two proper states. In the case of two homeotropic states, Fig. 12 shows defect modes of the tH and bH state in specific wavelength range without employing any polarizers. In the tH state, the peaks overlapped with those in the bH state characterizes the ordinary defect modes whereas other peaks are explained as the extraordinary defect modes. According to Eq. (2), the effective refractive index in the tH state is higher than that in the bH state, determined by their molecular orientation. In addition, it can also be conceived that operation between tH to bH state enables the control on the contribution of extraordinary index as well as the effective refractive index by the applied voltage. Accordingly, the transmission-intensity tunability in the extraordinary defect modes can be achieved by switching between these two states. For instance, the switching between tH and bH state is created by applying an electric field at low frequency
Furthermore, Fig. 13 reveals the wavelength tunability of the defect modes in the bT state of the PC/BHN cell. Switching to the bT state is accomplished from bH state by adjusting the frequency from low frequency
3.3. One-dimensional photonic-crystal/dual-frequency-cholesteric-liquid-crystal cells
The texture PC/DFCLC cell can be switched to three states, according to its operation mechanism illustrated in Fig. 7. These textures are P, FC, and H state. While the P and FC can be the stable states H state is the voltage-sustained state. Figure 14 shows the transmission spectra of the PC/DFCLC cell in two stable states. The cell in the transparent P state reveals a number of defect modes with transmission intensity around 25 to 60% in the PBG. When the texture is switched from P to FC state by a voltage pulse of
Figure 15 shows the transmission spectra of the PC/DFCLC cell in the P and H state. It can clearly be recognized that two separated sets of defect modes with comparable transmission strengths are obtained. In contrast to the defect modes in the P state, the defect modes in the H state shifts to the shorter wavelengths due to the decrease in the effective refractive index. Noticeably, the peaks of defect modes in one of the two states overlaps to the stop band in the other state indicating the complementary nature in wavelengths. Furthermore, Fig. 16 demonstrates a new approach for tuning the peak transmittance of the defect modes by varying the frequency of the applied voltage pulse. In this example, it is noted that the dielectric anisotropy of the DFLC is negative and it increases with increasing frequency in the frequency range from 20 to 100 kHz. Therefore, while a 20 kHz voltage pulse align the molecules in the FC state the cell subsequently transits to the planar state as the frequency increases due to the enhancement in the torque of dielectric coupling. As a result, the transmittance of peaks in the defect modes increases with increasing frequency due to the change of molecular orientation.
4. Memorable multichannel devices based on one-dimensional photonic-crystal/memory-mode-liquid-crystal cells
4.1. Bistable one-dimensional photonic-crystal/chiral-tilted-homeotropic-nematic cells under parallel polarizers
It is clarified from Section 3.2 that the electrically tunable defect modes in a 1D PC/BHN hybrid cell can be realized even for the light propagating through the cell without employing any polarizers. For instance, the transmittance tunabiltiy in the extraordinary defect modes is performed in the cell while switching between the tH and bH states, suggesting a potential application in light filter. Moreover, operation in bT state as a function of increasing voltage results in the tunable wavelength, shifting to the longer wavelengths, in the defect modes. Although above mentioned mechanisms enable the PC/BHN to extent its use in various optical devices without employing any polarizers, all of them are performed by the dynamic switching between one stable state and voltage-sustained state. Here, a concept of wavelength-tunability in defect modes, characterized by the two stable states of the PC/BHN cell is proposed by setting the cell between two parallel polarizers (meaning linear polarizers with parallel transmission axes). Figure 17 depicts the transmission spectra of the PC/BHN cell in stable states with and without parallel polarizers. The angle between the rubbing direction of the cell and the transmission axis of either polarizer is denoted as
4.2. Tristable one-dimensional photonic-crystal cell with polymer-stabilized cholesteric textures
Based on the cell configuration of the DFCLC cell, a tristable PSCTs cell is created by incorporating photo-curable monomers into DFCLC with proper amounts due to the distribution of polymer networks throughout the cell. These three PSCTs are also referred to as the P, FC, and H states. According to the operation principle illustrated in Fig. 8, switching from one to another state in the PSCTs can be achieved by applying suitable frequency-modulated voltage pulses. In contrast to the electrical tunability mechanisms in the 1D PC/DFCLC cell, the 1D PC structure infiltrated with tristable PSCTs is expected to characterize the tunability on intensity and wavelength of defect modes by its tristable states. Figure 18 demonstrates the transmission spectra of the 1D PC/PSCTs cell in three stable states. Since the spectra profiles in these three states is revealed in Section 3.3, it can be understood from Fig. 18 that the mechanisms of tunable intensity and wavelength in the defect modes can also be performed in the PC/PSCT cell by operating between two stable states. In the case of intensity tunability, the FC state is certainly represented as the light off state because the transmission of defect modes in this state is the lowest. While switching the cell from FC to either P or H state, the transmission of defect modes becomes intense, denoting the light on state. It is emphasized that all of the three states can be stabilized permanently after voltage pulse removal. On the other hand, the position of defect modes can be shifted by switching between the P and H states. The appearance of two individual sets of defect modes, characterized by the P and H states in the cell, is applicable for enhancing the performance of the multichannel device. While the transmission of the peaks in defect modes can be adjusted by frequency-modulated voltage pulses with fixed amplitude, Fig. 19 demonstrates that the transmittance-modulation in the defect modes is performed by modulating the amplitude of voltage pulse at fixed frequency. In this case, the initial state of the cell is H state and the frequency is
5. Conclusions
In this chapter, two types of 1D PC/MMLC cells which exhibit both electrical tunability and optical bi- or tri-stability in the defect modes have been reviewed in accordance with our previously published papers. Several fascinating features have also been keynoted. In the case of the PC/BHN cell based on a chiral-agent-doped DFLC infiltrated as a defect layer, it can be switched in four different states by applying voltage pulses with designated waveforms. The dynamic switching in the voltage-sustained bT state results in the redshift of the defect modes with increasing voltage (at 100 kHz) due to the increase in the effective refractive index. Moreover, the tunable defect modes in the PC/BHN cell can be achieved by their two stable states (bH and bT) when the cell is set between parallel polarizers. Such bifunctional photonic devices pave a new pathway for the application in low-power-consumption multichannel optical switches and integrated photonic devices. On the other hand, switching among the P, FC, and H states in a PC/DFCLC cell can be regulated rapidly, directly and reversibly by using frequency-modulated voltage pulses. The ability of wavelength tunability of defect modes in the PC/DFCLC cell is achieved by the texture transition from the stable P state to the voltage-sustained H state. Owing to the frequency-dependent dielectric anisotropy of the DFLC, the transmittance of the defect modes can be tuned by both the voltage frequency and amplitude, providing a new way for intensity tunability through such a filter characterized by the defect modes. This device requires no polarizers and is of low power consumption. Noticeably, the voltage-sustained H state in the bistable DFCLC can further be a third optically stable state by incorporating an adequate amount of photo-curable monomer, oligomer, or prepolymer into the DFCLC material to create polymer networks in the defect layer. Such a DFCLC cell exhibiting three stable states—P, FC, and H—is known as a tristable PSCT. Referring to the aforementioned tunability in the PC/DFCLC, the wavelength tunability and transmittance tunability of defect modes in the PC/PSCT cell can be achieved—the intensities of the defect modes can be regulated by the amplitude of voltage in the mixed states and the wavelengths be switched by the frequency in the H and P states. The cell can directly be switched from one to another stable state by employing a proper frequency- modulated voltage pulse on the cell.
1D PC/LC has received much attention in recent years due to its tunability in defect modes within the PBG. It has been established that this hybrid PC structure enables the control over the defect modes by electric field, magnetic field, and the like as a stimulus. The resulting features make it applicable for designing tunable photonic devices such as a multichannel filter, light shutter, and optical modulator. Specifically, incorporating MMLC as a defect layer in the 1D PC provides both the optically memorable and tunable defect modes characterized by the stable states, allowing the device to be of low power consumption. Such a 1D PC/MMLC device thus extends its use for green products.
