Background:

Next-generation diffraction gratings require nonmechanical and remote control for pattern generation and tunable periods.
Existing diffraction grating technologies face limitations in tunability and control mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and demonstrate a stimuli-responsive liquid crystal (LC) phase grating with tunable period and diffraction order.
To achieve nonmechanical and remote control over diffraction patterns for advanced display applications.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of an LC diffraction grating using periodically arranged electrodes on a double-sided glass substrate.
Utilizing adjusted driving schemes to switch the pitch and diffraction order between three distinct modes.

Main Results:

The developed LC grating operates at a low driving voltage of approximately 5 V.
The tunable LC grating demonstrated the capability to achieve multiple diffraction orders.
Successful switching between three different operational modes was achieved by adjusting the driving scheme.

Conclusions:

The stimuli-responsive LC phase grating offers a promising solution for nonmechanical, tunable diffraction patterns.
The ability to control diffraction order and period opens possibilities for enhanced holographic displays with wide viewing angles and enlarged sizes.
