Problems solved by technology

[0003] The prior art discloses holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystal as an electro-optic functional material. Due to its electrically controllable optical properties, it has already been used in the research of preparing Bragg volume gratings. However, the overall effect has not been good enough. The main performance is that the diffraction efficiency is not good enough. High, less than 85%. Large scattering

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation material of a high-efficiency holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal Bragg volume grating and a preparation method thereof. The preparation material is prepared by the following steps of: forming a mixed emulsion by an acrylate monomer with polyfunctional groups, a crosslinking agent, an initiator, a co-initiator and nematic liquid crystal; wafering the mixed emulsion into a liquid crystal box made of two transparent conductive panes; arranging the liquid crystal box in an interference light field of green laser for holographic exposure; accurately controlling exposure intensity and time; and then, enabling the liquid crystal box to stand still in a dark room for a certain time. The prepared high-efficiency holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal Bragg volume grating has the diffraction efficiency over 95 percent and the scattering and high-order diffraction loss lower than 1 percent.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electro-optical functional materials, and relates to a high-efficiency holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal Bragg volume grating preparation material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] It is known that the Bragg volume grating has a very high diffraction efficiency, and the diffraction efficiency of the incident light satisfying the Bragg condition can theoretically reach 100%. The diffraction efficiency is related to the incident wavelength, incident angle, volume material refractive index modulation depth (Δn), and volume grating It is related to parameters such as thickness. It has a small angular dispersion. Therefore, the Bragg volume grating is a high-resolution dispersion element and can be used in many fields such as spectral analysis, laser shaping, optical switches, and optical modulators. [0003] The prior art discloses holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystal as...
