Abstract

In this paper an Optical Circular-Polarization Modulator (CPM) based Liquid Crystal (LC) is presented. Using the electric birefringence of LC material, the device can output polarized light with two circular-polarization states. Detailed illumination of the device's structure and its testing investigation are also presented.
