    Area of Science:

    • Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Optics

    Background:

    • Liquid crystals (LCs) are widely used in optical devices.
    • Controlling LC alignment and properties is crucial for advanced applications.
    • Developing switchable gratings with tunable properties is an active research area.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and demonstrate a novel 1D/2D switchable grating based on polymer-stabilized liquid crystal (PSLC).
    • To achieve flexible control over diffraction patterns for photonic applications.

    Main Methods:

    • A two-step exposure method was employed to fabricate the PSLC grating.
    • The first exposure anchored LC molecule tilt angles using a polymer network, creating a 1D grating.
    • The second exposure modulated LC threshold voltage, enabling 2D grating formation under an electric field.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed device operates at a low driving voltage (1 V) with a fast response time.
    • High diffraction efficiency and no scattering were achieved.
    • The 1D and 2D gratings are independent, allowing flexible construction of diverse diffraction patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed PSLC-based switchable grating offers a low-cost, efficient solution for tunable photonic devices.
    • The independent control over grating orders and flexible pattern construction show significant potential for various photonic applications.
