Abstract
New devices and approaches are being developed for controlling beam direction and shape using liquid crystal based assemblies. This paper discusses recent advancements in these areas including improvements in zero-order diffraction efficiency, broadband wide field-of-regard steering, wavefront correction using in-line configurations and high average power handling.
