    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Optics
    • Polymer Chemistry

    Background:

    • Holographic Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal (HPDLC) gratings are known for their electro-optical properties and tunability.
    • Traditional HPDLC gratings predominantly show p-polarization diffraction, limiting their application scope.
    • There is a need for HPDLC gratings with controllable polarization responses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and characterize a novel HPDLC grating exhibiting dominant s-polarization diffraction.
    • To investigate the influence of recording intensity and liquid crystal (LC) doping concentration on refractive index modulation (Δn).
    • To explore the relationship between grating morphology, LC droplet size, and threshold driving voltage.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of HPDLC gratings using a thiol-ene monomer system.
    • Experimental investigation of refractive index modulation (Δn) under varying recording intensities and LC concentrations.
    • Morphological examinations and analysis of LC droplet size and distribution.
    • Measurement of diffraction efficiency for both s- and p-polarized light.
    • Determination of threshold driving voltage.

    Main Results:

    • The developed thiol-ene based HPDLC grating demonstrates significantly higher s-polarization diffraction efficiency compared to p-polarization.
    • A maximum Δn of 1.93 × 10⁻² (s-polarization) and 1.21 × 10⁻² (p-polarization) was achieved under optimal recording conditions.
    • Refractive index modulation is strongly dependent on the ratio of LC-rich and polymer-rich phases.
    • Lower recording intensity results in larger LC droplet sizes, leading to a decreased threshold driving voltage.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel thiol-ene photopolymer system enables the design of HPDLC gratings with dominant s-polarization diffraction.
    • The findings provide a new direction for tailoring HPDLC grating characteristics by controlling morphology and phase separation.
    • This work opens possibilities for advanced optical devices utilizing polarization-selective diffraction.
