Two-Dimensional Hybrid Photonic Crystal With Graded Low-Index Using a Nonuniform Voltage.

We proposed a new method for designing graded index lens using liquid crystal infiltration into annular photonic crystals. Applying an external nonuniform voltage in the transverse direction perpendicular to the direction of light propagation yields different orientation of liquid crystal molecules...

      ab: We proposed a new method for designing graded index lens using liquid crystal infiltration into annular photonic crystals. Applying an external nonuniform voltage in the transverse direction perpendicular to the direction of light propagation yields different orientation of liquid crystal molecules inside the photonic crystal unit cells. As a result, a gradient refractive index was modulated. We numerically investigate focusing properties of the designed graded index structure using plane-wave expansion and finite-difference time-domain methods. The gradient refractive index profile was adjusted by varying the nonuniform voltage excitations, which consequently altered the focal distance of the graded index structure. A wide tuning range of 1856 nm was achieved for focal distance by the proposed graded index structure. This feature can be implemented for planning a flat lens with tunable focal distance based on electro-optic effect. These achievements may have future applications in some optical devices such as near-field imaging and scanning.
