Project description

Secondos aims to extend the potential of light steering components based on liquid crystal materials, by overcoming the main limitations of the current state-of-the-art components. A two phase approach is used. First we will focus on a precise specification and demonstration of the basic optical functionality. Next, more complex optical functionality, combining the basic adaptive functionalities, will be demonstrated.
