Abstract
Liquid crystals, combining optical non-linearity and self-organizing properties with fluidity, and being responsive to a wide variety of stimuli, have reached a key point in their development for photonic applications, for the realization of devices that could be dynamically reconfigurable, widely tunable and ultra-fast controlled. In this framework, ranging from Holography to Plasmonics, we review our recent efforts on developing a new generation of dynamic, tunable, electro- and all-optical photonic systems. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
