Abstract:
We report on the formulation and electrical control of the position and bandwidth of reflective bandpass filters prepared from cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) in the infrared (3-5 μm). These filters are prepared from alignment cells employing infrared transparent electrodes and substrates. The optical nature of the electrodes is shown to strongly influence the resulting transmission of the bandpass filters outside of the spectral reflection.

Passive filters are utilized to shape the frequency spectrum of signals across a diverse array of applications. These filters, using only passive elements like resistors (R), inductors (L), and capacitors (C), are capable of selectively allowing or blocking certain frequency ranges without the need for external power sources.
Low-Pass Filters
Low-pass filters are designed to transmit signals with frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency, ωc, and attenuate those above it. The cutoff...

Active filters are electronic circuits that use operational amplifiers (op-amps), resistors, and capacitors to filter out unwanted frequency components from a signal. A first-order low-pass active filter is designed to pass signals with a frequency lower than a certain cutoff frequency and attenuate frequencies higher than that cutoff frequency. The transfer function for a first-order low-pass active filter is:
