Phase Modulation Devices for Optical Applications

An optical phase modulation device having a layer of flexoelectro-optic effect liquid crystal material and electrode for applying an electric field to the layer of liquid crystal material. In this way, the optic axis of the liquid crystal layer can be deflected. This provides a phase shift to light transiting the liquid crystal layer. The substrate of the device is based on a liquid crystal over silicon (LCOS) microdisplay. The device is capable of providing multilevel phase shifts, e.g. for holographic displays.
