Abstract: A design of a semiconductor saturable absorber that offers a convenient and reliable way to control/decrease the recovery time of the absorption. The absorption recovery time is controlled during the epitaxial growth by using lattice-mismatched layer(s) to induce dislocations, and implicitly non-radiative recombination centers within the nonlinear absorbing region. These lattice reformation layer(s) are interposed between the distributed Bragg reflector and the nonlinear absorption region, containing quantum-wells, quantum-dots or bulk semiconductor material. The thickness and composition of the lattice reformation layer(s) is an instrumental to control the amount of non-radiative recombination centers used to trap the optically excited carriers generated in the absorption region.

Abstract: Transmission and reflection type holograms may be formed utilizing a novel polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) material and its unique switching characteristics to form optical elements. Applications for these switchable holograms include communications switches and switchable transmission, and reflection red, green, and blue lenses. The PDLC material offers all of the features of holographic photopolymers with the added advantage that the hologram can be switched on and off with the application of an electric field. The material is a mixture of a polymerizable monomer and liquid crystal, along with other ingredients, including a photoinitiator dye. Upon irradiation, the liquid crystal separates as a distinct phase of nanometer-size droplets aligned in periodic channels forming the hologram. The material is called a holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (H-PDLC).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reflective spatial light modulator enabling improvement of light resistance and prevention of damaging of the liquid crystal layer. The reflective spatial light modulator controls phases of the incident light and a reflected light while reflecting light made incident from a front side, and comprises a liquid crystal layer, a dielectric multilayer film, and a phase shift layer. The liquid crystal layer is filled with a liquid crystal comprised of a light modulating material, and modulates the incident light. The dielectric multilayer film reflects the incident light. The phase shift layer is disposed between the liquid crystal layer and the dielectric multilayer film to shift phases of the incident light and the reflected light at an interface of the liquid crystal layer.

Abstract: A reflective display device includes a flexible pouch of ordered copolymer layers with a lamellar structure and a solvent, the flexible pouch having at least a first and second surface. A substrate is placed in operative contact with a first surface of the flexible pouch. Thereafter, one of a pressure or heat application mechanism is placed in operative connection with at least one of the first and second surfaces of the flexible pouch. A controller operatively associated with one of the pressure or heat application mechanisms, is used to selectively apply pressure and/or heat to the flexible pouch. The application of the heat or pressure at a specific location on the flexible pouch results in a change of reflectivity in the ordered copolymer layers, thereby altering the color at that location.
