We review current synthesis techniques for generating and improving birefringent filters. The relationship between wave-plate orientation and the resulting spectral output is shown to be that of a simple Fourier transform. By using this relationship and starting from the fan Sole configuration, we easily generated plate orientations providing lower sidelobe levels and improved finesse. We outline a method by which filters can be constructed to provide from 0 to 100% of the desired passband in a continuous fashion. Such a filter can be stacked to allow rapid control of any number of passbands and is shown, as an example in …

A small number of bifunctional monomers are mixed with a nematic liquid crystal (LC) and cured with a distributed electric field, which is produced by a circular-hole-patterned electrode structure. A gradient type of lens, that is, a LC microlens, is investigated for various polymer concentrations. Addition of 3% polymer is enough to freeze the gradient-index properties of the structure in the form of a convex lens, and a polymer-stabilized LC microlens is demonstrated. Although a lower concentration of polymer cannot hold the distribution properties in a curing process, it can maintain the variable focus as a nematic material can. The …

We report here a simple and direct observation that the molecular long axis is not, on the average, a rotation axis for the entire molecule in the smectic C phase (rotational freeze-out). This observation is made in the compound 4-n-heptyl-d15-oxybenzoic acid-d1 where experiment clearly shows that the principal axes of the time-averaged deuterium quadrupole interactions at specific sites of the hydrocarbon chain are not all parallel, demonstrating that they do not share a common axis of rotation.
