    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Display Technology

    Background:

    • Cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) exhibit unique optical properties useful for grating applications.
    • Two-dimensional (2D) gratings are crucial for advanced optical systems, but their fabrication can be complex.
    • Augmented reality (AR) displays require wider fields of view, often limited by eyebox size.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate a novel 2D grating based on cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC).
    • To analyze the conditions for the coexistence of two distinct grating regimes within the CLC structure.
    • To explore the potential application of this 2D grating in enhancing augmented reality (AR) display technology.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a polarization volume grating (PVG) in the Bragg regime using patterned photoalignment.
    • Introduction of a CLC grating in the Raman-Nath regime via CLC self-assembly under weak anchoring.
    • Analysis of the coexistence conditions and characterization of the CLC Raman-Nath grating (RNG) efficiency and period.

    Main Results:

    • Successful demonstration of a large-diffraction-angle 2D grating combining PVG and CLC RNG.
    • Identification of the conditions necessary for the simultaneous operation of both grating types.
    • Characterization of the CLC RNG's performance, including its efficiency and grating period.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed 2D CLC grating integrates Bragg and Raman-Nath regimes for versatile optical control.
    • This technology holds promise for overcoming limitations in AR display eyebox size.
    • Further research can optimize the grating for improved AR performance and other optical applications.
