Project description
This work is an experimental and theoretical study of a light moedulator based on liquid crystals, where the pixel size approaches the light wavelength. Therefore, the existing three-dimensional for molecule orientation is extended and the two-dimensional Wide angle Beam Propagation simulation method is extended to three dimensions in order to describe the complex optical propagation through the system.
