Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a liquid crystal elastomer film, a tunable filter and a preparation method of the tunable filter. The preparation method of the liquid crystal elastomerfilm comprises the following steps: mixing and stirring a liquid crystal monomer, a cross-linking agent and a photoinitiator to obtain a liquid crystal elastomer mixed solution, performing friction orientation on the two glass plates spin-coated with orientation layers in the same direction, bonding the two glass plates according to the friction orientation direction at a preset distance intervalto obtain a liquid crystal box, pouring the liquid crystal elastomer mixed solution into the liquid crystal box, and carrying out ultraviolet exposure to make the liquid crystal elastomer mixed solution fully polymerize, thereby obtaining the liquid crystal elastomer film with uniform molecular orientation. According to the embodiment of the invention, the tunability of the optical filter is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to optical technology, and in particular to a preparation method of a liquid crystal elastomer film, a tunable filter and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Optical filters play a very important role in technical fields such as spectral imaging, wavelength selection, optical noise filtering, and optical multiplexing / demultiplexing. And several new types of filters. [0003] The filter based on the principle of dispersion spectroscopy mainly splits the signal light through a grating or prism, and then filters the optical signal of a single spectral line element. The optical path of the dispersion type filter is relatively complicated, and its volume and weight are relatively large, which is not conducive to Used in portable operation scenarios. Filters based on the principle of interference film filtering selectively filter signal light by designing dielectric films with differen...
