Effect of Yttrium Oxide Nanoparticles on the Diffraction Efficiency of Holographic Polymer-liquid Crystal Gratings

详细

Electro-optical properties of the holographic and polarization holographic diffraction gratings formed in polymer-liquid crystal composites doped with Y₂O₃ nanoparticles are considered. The effect of impurities on the diffraction efficiency and operated electric field is shown. The diffraction efficiency of doped holographic diffraction gratings decreases, whereas the diffraction efficiency of polarization diffraction gratings increases. Doping with nanoparticles leads to a decrease in the operated electric field.
