    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Nanotechnology

    Background:

    • Liquid crystals (LCs) provide tunable molecular orientation for optical modulation.
    • Current LC devices typically offer single-parameter light control (e.g., phase or amplitude).
    • Achieving complex amplitude modulation in single-layer LC structures is a significant challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a single-layer liquid crystal (LC) architecture for deterministic complex-field synthesis.
    • To enable decoupled, continuous amplitude and full 0-2π phase control using LC molecular orientation.
    • To demonstrate advanced light modulation capabilities for compact optical devices.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel single-layer LC macro-pixel architecture was designed.
    • Programming in-plane orientation angles of LC molecules enabled complex-field synthesis.
    • Coherent interference between diagonal molecule pairs facilitated decoupled control.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated deterministic complex-field synthesis using only LC orientation angles.
    • Achieved decoupled, continuous amplitude and full 0-2π phase modulation.
    • Verified functionality with experimental multifocal lenses and complex-amplitude holograms.

    Conclusions:

    • Established a compact and scalable method for complex-field synthesis in single-layer LC platforms.
    • Paved the way for high-quality light control applications, including 3D holography.
    • Advanced the integration and functionality of liquid crystal devices for wavefront engineering.
