Description

Phase response acceleration method and acceleration system for liquid crystal variable phase delayer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of liquid crystal optical device application, in particular to a phase response acceleration method and system of a liquid crystal variable phase retarder.
Background
A Liquid Crystal Variable Retarder (Liquid Crystal Variable Retarder) is a device that achieves phase retardation of light by voltage-controlling the refractive index of Liquid Crystal molecules. The liquid crystal variable phase retarder consists of an upper glass substrate, an upper conductive film, an upper phase matching film, liquid crystal, a lower phase matching film, a lower conductive film and a lower glass substrate from top to bottom in sequence. The alignment orientation of the liquid crystal molecules is controlled by the rubbing angle on the phase matching film. After AC voltage is applied to the upper and lower conductive films, the liquid crystal molecules start to rotate according to the magnitude of the applied voltage, so that the phase difference between the fast and slow axes of the incident polarized light beam can be changed. When the voltage is zero, the delayer has an initial large phase delay amount; as the voltage increases, the liquid crystal molecular orientation gradually rotates, so that the phase retardation amount decreases and approaches zero.
The phase response time of a liquid crystal variable phase retarder depends on several parameters of the liquid crystal layer thickness, viscosity, temperature, direction of retardation change, driving voltage change and liquid crystal material. The phase response time is proportional to the square of the thickness of the liquid crystal layer. At higher temperatures, the viscosity of the material decreases, also contributing to a faster reaction. The response time also depends on the direction of the retardation change, and if the phase retardation increases, the response time is completely determined by the mechanical relaxation of the liquid crystal molecules. If the phase retardation value decreases, the voltage across the liquid crystal layer increases. The higher the voltage of the liquid crystal layer is, the stronger the electric field is, the larger the electric field force borne by the liquid crystal molecules is, and the faster the response speed is. Response times can also be improved using tailored materials with high birefringence.
