An Electro-Optically Tunable Bragg Reflector Based on Liquid Crystals
In this paper we report the analysis of a distributed feedback guided-wave reflector in liquid crystals and we describe the main properties of the device. The device is based on a comb-shaped interdigitated electrodes and a liquid crystal slab. The device shows a wide tuning range exceeding 100 nm covering C and L bands for wavelength division multiplexing.
